WILLIAM H. ORRICK, District Judge.
Plaintiff J & J Sports Productions, Inc., hereby applies ex parte for an order continuing the Case Management Conference presently set for Tuesday, December 9, 2014 at 2:00 PM. As set forth below Plaintiff respectfully requests that the Court continue the Case Management Conference to a new date approximately Thirty (30) to Forty-Five (45) days forward.
The request for the brief continuance is necessitated by the fact that Plaintiff has not yet perfected service of the initiating suit papers upon the Defendant Antonio Sanchez Ortega a/k/a Antonio Ortega, individually and d/b/a Plaza Garibaldi. As a result, Plaintiff's counsel has not conferred with the defendant concerning the claims, discovery, settlement, ADR or any of the other pertinent issues involving the case itself or the preparation of a Joint Case Management Conference Statement.
Plaintiff recently identified an alternative address that it believes will be successful to serve its initiating suit papers, upon the Defendant.
In addition, Thomas P. Riley, Plaintiff's counsel in this action, has a calendaring conflict on Tuesday, December 9, 2014 as Mr. Riley is ordered to personally appear before the Honorable Paul L. Abrams of the U.S.D.C. for the Central District of California, Western Division in the matter of J & J Sports Productions, Inc. v. Senehi, et al.,; Case No. 2:12-cv-07846-PLA for a status conference at 10:00 AM that very same day (ECF# 57).
It is hereby ordered that the Case Management Conference in civil action number 3:14-cv-03949-WHO styled J & J Sports Productions, Inc. v. Ortega, is hereby continued from 2:00 PM, Tuesday, December 9, 2014 to 2:00 p.m. on Tuesday, January 20, 2015.
Plaintiff shall serve a copy of this Order on the Defendant and thereafter file a Certification of Service of this Order with the Clerk of the Court.
