GREGORY G. HOLLOWS, Magistrate Judge.
Defendants COUNTY OF SACRAMENTO and MARK ASPESI request that the Court continue the hearing on their motion to dismiss the complaint, from July 19, 2018 at 9:00 a.m., to September 6, 2018 at 9:00 a.m.
A continuance is needed because after the filing of the motion to dismiss, a sua sponte continuance in a state court matter has created a conflict with the July 19 hearing date. See Declaration of Wendy Motooka in Support of Def.'s Request for Continuance ("Motooka Decl.") at ¶¶ 3-5. In addition, a continuance would be more efficient for the parties and the Court. Since the filing of the motion to dismiss, plaintiff has served the complaint on additional defendants (BEN LAMERA, MICHAEL PENROSE, SUE FROST and KEITH FLOYD). These defendants also intend to move to dismiss, with their hearing date set for September 6, 2018. Motooka Decl. at ¶ 3.
Plaintiff has indicated that he does not oppose the continuance. Motooka Decl. at ¶ 6 & attached Exh. B.
Therefore, the County and Aspesi request that their motion to dismiss be continued to September 6, 2018, at 9:00 a.m., to be heard alongside the motion of the other four defendants.
Having reviewed defendant's unopposed request for continuance, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED THAT:
1. The hearing on defendants County of Sacramento and Mark Aspesi's motion to dismiss the complaint shall be continued from July 19, 2018 at 9:00 a.m. to September 6, 2018, at 9:00 a.m.
