v.

Case No. 2:12-CV-10669-ODW (PLA)

Plaintiff,

16
17
18

Plaintiff has moved ex parte to deny or continue Defendants’ pending motion

19

for summary judgment under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 56(d) and to continue

20

the trial and related pre-trial dates by 60 days. (ECF No. 74.) Insofar as Plaintiff

21

seeks a 60-day continuance for all of these dates, Plaintiff’s request is DENIED for

22

failure to demonstrate good cause. Nevertheless, Defendants have agreed to continue

23

the summary-judgment hearing date to September 30 and the discovery cut-off date to

24

November 8. Accordingly, the Court hereby CONTINUES the hearing date on

25

Defendants’ pending motion for summary judgment (ECF No. 56) to Monday,

26

September 30, 2013.

27

September 9, 2013.

28

///

Plaintiff’s opposition is therefore due no later than

1

Because the pre-trial conference date is already set for November 8, the Court

2

CONTINUES the discovery cut-off date to October 28, 2013, to allow sufficient

3

time for the parties to prepare a complete [Proposed] Pretrial Conference Report. All

4

other dates in this matter remain firm and will not be continued except upon an

5

exceptional showing of good cause.

6

Finally, the Court directs counsel to review this Court’s Local Rules regarding

7

the form and format of electronic filings. In particular, Local Rule 5-4.3.1 requires

8

that all electronically filed documents be “published to PDF from the original word-

9

processing file,” as opposed to being scanned to a PDF image. In addition, Local

10

Rule 52-4.1 requires a separate proposed order to be submitted with “any stipulation,

11

application, motion, or request.” Finally, Rule 11-3.2’s requirement that the left

12

margin be numbered with “not more than 28 lines for page” aims to facilitate precise

13

citation. Plaintiff is encouraged to conform the line spacing in the text to the line

14

numbers in the margin.

15
16

IT IS SO ORDERED.
