WILLIAM B. SHUBB, District Judge.

TO THE HONORABLE WILLIAM B. SHUBB, THE DEFENDANT AND HIS ATTORNEY/S OF RECORD:

Plaintiff J & J Sports Productions, Inc., hereby applies ex parte for an order continuing the Initial Scheduling Conference presently set for Monday, March 16, 2015 at 2:00 PM. As set forth below Plaintiff respectfully requests that the Court continue the Initial Scheduling Conference to a new date approximately Thirty (30) to Forty-Five (45) days forward.

In addition, Thomas P. Riley, Plaintiff's counsel in this action, has calendaring conflicts on Monday, March 16, 2015 as Mr. Riley is scheduled to appear before the Honorable David R. Strawbridge of the U.S.D.C. for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia Division in the matter of J & J Sports Productions, Inc. v. Baldino, et al.,; Case No. 2:14-cv-02444-AB for a Follow-Up Status Telephone Conference re: Settlement matter and Scheduling a Settlement Conference at 4:30 P.M. (EDT) that very same day (ECF# 25); and a Initial Scheduling Conference before Honorable William B. Shubb of the U.S.D.C. for the Eastern District of California, Sacramento Division in the matter of J & J Sports Productions, Inc. v. Hamad,; Case No. 2:14-cv-02728-WBS-DAD at 2:00 P.M. that very same day (ECF# 3) as well.

WHEREFORE, Plaintiff respectfully requests that this Honorable Court continue the Initial Scheduling Conference, presently scheduled for Monday, March 16, 2015 at 2:00 PM.
