EDWARD M. CHEN, District Judge.
Pursuant to Civil Local Rule 6-2, Defendant Uber Technologies, Inc. ("Uber" or "Defendant") and Plaintiff Ronald Gillette ("Plaintiff") (collectively "Parties") hereby stipulate to and request that the Court continue the hearing date for Uber's motion to compel arbitration from April 14, 2015 at 10:30 am to May 7, 2015 at 1:30 pm.
This change in time is requested because Uber's client representative will be out of the country on business on April 14, 2015 and will be unable to attend the hearing as currently scheduled. Counsel for Defendant therefore requested a stipulation from counsel for Plaintiff to continue the motion to compel arbitration hearing date. Plaintiff's counsel agreed to request a continuance of the motion to compel arbitration hearing and the next available date that worked for all parties and the Court is May 7, 2015.
This request is not made for purposes of unnecessary delay, and none of the Parties will be prejudiced by the granting of this request. The Parties have previously stipulated to several time modifications. On December 31, 2014, Plaintiff and Defendant stipulated to extend Defendant's time to file a responsive pleading. On February 5, 2015, in conjunction with the parties in the related action Mohamed v. Uber Technologies, Inc., et al. Case No. 14-05200 ("Mohamed"), Plaintiff and Defendant stipulated to a consolidated briefing schedule regarding the motions to compel arbitration in Mohamed and the instant action and requested that the Court continue the March 12, 2015 case management conference and associated case management deadlines in order to accommodate the consolidated briefing schedule.
This stipulated request will create only a slight delay with respect to the motion to compel arbitration hearing date.
IT IS SO STIPULATED.
PURSUANT TO STIPULATION, IT IS SO ORDERED.
