Case No.: 1:10-cv-00085 OWW JLT
ORDER GRANTING APPLICATION TO
SHORTEN TIME RE: MOTION TO AMEND
SCHEDULING ORDER
(Doc. 109)

On March 2, 2012, the individual Plaintiffs filed a motion to amend the scheduling order to

23

allow 30 additional days to conduct discovery related to Defendant’s financial condition. (Doc. 107)

24

The hearing on this motion is set, currently, on April 2, 2012. The government has no objection to

25

the amendment but, given Defendant’s attorney has recently filed a motion to withdraw as counsel of

26

record, he was unable to agree to the amendment. (Doc. 109 at 3) The individual Plaintiffs also

27

sought an order shortening the time to hear their motion. (Doc. 109)

Because refusing to hear the motion on shortened time would, in essence, constitute a denial
of the motion, the Court GRANTS the order shortening time as follows:

3

1.

Any opposition to the motion SHALL be filed no later than March 8, 2012.

4

2.

No reply brief SHALL be filed;

5

3.

The hearing SHALL occur at 8:30 a.m. on March 12, 2012, at the United States

Bankruptcy Courtroom at 1300 18th Street, Bakersfield, California, before Hon.

7

Jennifer L. Thurston;
