JUDGMENT AND TRIALRELATED DATES [28]

18

On September 26, 2013, the Court issued its Scheduling and Case-Management

19

Order in this action, setting the last day for hearing motions for June 2, 2014, and

20

setting trial for July 22, 2014. (ECF No. 19.)

21

On May 5, 2014, Defendant Veolia Transportation Services, Inc. moved for

22

summary judgment as to Plaintiff Alvaco, Inc.’s entire Complaint. (ECF No. 25.)

23

Veolia noticed the hearing on the Motion for Monday, June 2, 2014.

24

On May 9, 2014, the parties stipulated to continue the summary-judgment

25

hearing date and all trial-related dates to accommodate Alvaco deposing two Veolia

26

Rule 30(b)(6) witnesses.

27

While the parties apparently agree that Alvaco has satisfied the requirements of

28

Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 56(d), the Court is not convinced. In any event, the

1

Court acknowledges that both parties have agreed to the continuance and need not

2

unnecessarily reject their agreement.
