CASE NO. CV F 10-1507 LJO SMS
ORDER TO RELIEVE DEFENDANT OF
JOINT STATEMENT OF UNDISPUTED
FACTS
(Doc. 23.)

vs.
PENSKE LOGISTICS, INC., et al.,

15

Defendants.
/

16
17

Defendants seek relief to file a joint statement of undisputed facts for their summary judgment

18

motion due to defense counsel’s oversight. Based on defense counsel’s representations, including the

19

lack of meaningful benefit of a joint statement, this Court RELIEVES defense counsel of the joint

20

statement requirement. Nonetheless, this Court ADMONISHES the parties’ counsel to comply with the

21

Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and this Court’s Local Rules and orders.

22

Due to having the heaviest district court caseload in the nation and inability to hold to scheduled

23

dates, this Court FURTHER ADMONISHES the parties to consent to the conduct of further proceedings

24

by a United States Magistrate Judge. Without such consent, this Court will likely reset the pretrial

25

conference, due to the lateness of the summary judgment hearing date, and reset trial, due to multiple

26

trials currently set on November 14, 2011, including criminal trials which are given priority.

28

IT IS SO ORDERED.
Dated:

August 19, 2011
