TO THE HONORABLE SAMUEL CONTI, THE DEFENDANT AND HER ATTORNEY/S OF RECORD:

Plaintiff J & J Sports Productions, Inc., hereby applies ex parte for an order continuing the Case Management Conference presently set for Friday, December 5, 2014 at 10:00 AM. 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 Melva A. Gamez Urias a/k/a Melva A.

Riley, Plaintiff's counsel in this action, has calendaring conflicts on Friday, December 5, 2014 as Mr. Riley is scheduled to personally appear before Mediator Gail Killefer, ADR Program Director of the U.S.D.C. for the Central District of California, Western Division in the matters of J & J Sports Productions, Inc. v. Lim, et al.,; Case No. 2:13-cv-8949-WDK-PLA for a mediation at 9:00 AM that very same day (ECF# 12); and for a telephonic settlement disposition conference in J & J Sports Productions, Inc. v. Buenrostro, et al.,; Case No. 3:13-cv-02104-CAB-KSC at 10:00 A.M. that same day (ECF# 20); and for a case management conference in J & J Sports Productions, Inc. v. Pepperell, et al.,; Case No. 3:14-cv-03923-MMC at 10:30 A.M. that same day (ECF# 11)1; and for a mediation in J&J Sports Productions, Inc. v. Jaculito Lopez, Inc.; Case No. 2:13-cv-08877-WDK-PLA at 11:00 AM that same day (ECF# 16); and for a mediation in J & J Sports Productions, Inc. v. Gebreyesus, et al.,; Case No. 2:13-cv-09087-WDK-PLA at 12:00 PM that same day (ECF# 15); and for a mediation in J&J Sports Productions, Inc. v. Vasquez, et al.,; Case No. 5:13-cv-00807-WDK-PLA at 1:00 PM that same day (ECF# 22); and for a mediation in J & J Sports Productions, Inc. v. Jimenez,; Case No. 2:13-cv-08860-WDK-PLA at 2:00 PM that same day (ECF# 14) as well.

WHEREFORE, Plaintiff respectfully requests that this Honorable Court continue the Case Management Conference, presently scheduled for Friday, December 5, 2014 at 10:00 AM.
