McCRAW, et al., Judge Hon. Garland E. Burrell, Jr. Defendants. Trial Date TBD Action Filed: 11/2/2010 17 18 19 Plaintiff John Christ, and Defendant McCraw through his counsel of record, jointly request 20 that the Court enter an order staying further briefing on Plaintiff’s motion for an order permitting 21 him to correspond with third-party witnesses (Docket No. 12) for the following reasons: 22 1. On May 18, 2011, Magistrate Judge John F. Moulds issued an order instructing 23 Defendant to file and serve a response to the complaint, and also file and serve a response to 24 Plaintiff’s motion for an order permitting him to correspond with inmate witnesses by June 7, 25 2011. (Docket No. 22.) 26 2. In response to that order, counsel for Defendant has been in contact with prison 27 officials California State Prison, King-Avenal (Avenal), where Plaintiff is currently confined, and 28 California State Prison, Solano (Solano), where the third-party witnesses are confined, to discuss 1 Stip. Stay Briefing Mot. Corresp. Third-Party Witnesses; Order (11-CV-01156 GEB JFM (PC)) 1 the matter of Plaintiff’s request to correspond with other inmates. Plaintiff and Defendant’s 2 counsel also met and conferred about the matter over the telephone on the morning of June 7, 3 2011. 4 3. The parties are informed and believe that Plaintiff’s request for permission to 5 correspond with inmates at Solano has been approved by prison officials at Avenal, and is 6 awaiting consideration and approval by officials at Solano. The parties have a good-faith belief 7 that Solano will also approve the request, but the timeline for that approval is uncertain. 8 9 4. In order to preserve Court resources, the parties request that the briefing schedule for Defendant’s opposition and Plaintiff’s reply set out in the May 18, 2011 order (Docket No. 22) be 10 stayed until such time as Solano issues a response to Plaintiff’s request to correspond with 11 inmates at that institution. 12 5. In the event that Solano approves Plaintiff’s request, he will, within 14 days of 13 receiving that approval, file a notice of withdrawal of his motion for a court order permitting him 14 to correspond with the inmates at Solano. 15 6. On the other hand, if Solano denies Plaintiff’s request, within 14 days of receiving 16 notice of that denial from Plaintiff, Defendant file his opposition to Plaintiff’s motion for an order 17 permitting him to correspond with third-party witnesses. 18 19 IT IS SO AGREED.
