JOINT MOTION AND [PROPOSED] ORDER TO CONTINUE CASE MANAGEMENT CONFERENCE
HAYWOOD S. GILLIAM, Jr., District Judge.
JOINT MOTION
Pursuant to Civil Local Rules 16-2(d) and 7-11, Plaintiff Security People, Inc., Defendants Michelle K. Lee and the United States Patent and Trademark Office, both sued in their official capacity ("federal Defendants"), and Defendant Ojmar US, LLC, through their respective undersigned counsel, respectfully move the Court to continue the initial case management conference, currently scheduled for November 17, 2015, and corresponding Case Management Deadlines until after the Court has decided Defendants' motions to dismiss, which are scheduled for a hearing November 19, 2015. In support of this Joint Motion, the parties stipulate and agree as follows.
1. The initial case management conference in this case was originally set for October 14, 2015. On September 24, 2015, Judge Tigar granted the parties' joint motion to continue the case management conference until after resolution of the Defendants' motions to dismiss, then noticed for hearings on October 22, 2015, and continued the case management conference until November 18, 2015.1 ECF No. 25.
2. On October 2, 2015, the Court granted the federal Defendants' related case motion, ECF No. 34, and the Case Management Conference was rescheduled for November 17, 2015.
3. On October 9, 2015, the Defendants re-noticed their motions to dismiss for a hearing on November 19, 2015.
4. Because the Court's ruling on Defendants' respective motions to dismiss will inform and impact the case management issues, the parties believe it will be more efficient to hold the initial case management conference once Defendants' motions to dismiss have been resolved. Doing so will preserve the resources of the parties and the Court, and save the Government the expense of providing accommodations for Washington, D.C. counsel in San Francisco, California for the November 17, 2015 conference.
5. Pursuant to Civil Local Rule 16-2(d)(3)-(4), the parties have agreed to, and request that the Court approve, the below proposed case management schedule:
• Two weeks after Court's Order on Motion to Dismiss: Deadline to meet and confer pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 26(f).
• Four weeks after Court's Order on Motion to Dismiss: Deadline to file Rule 26(f) Report and Joint Case Management Statement.
• Five weeks after Court's Order on Motion to Dismiss: Initial Case Management Conference.
ATTESTATION
Pursuant to Local Rule 5-l(i)(3), I attest that I am the ECF user whose user ID and password are being used in the electronic filing of this document, and further attest that I have obtained concurrence in the filing of the document from the other signatories.
