On December 4, 2013, Plaintiffs filed a motion for clarification. Doc. 146 (amended by doc.

19

147). In correspondence with Plaintiffs’attorney Seth Goldstein, the Court indicated that the motion

20

could be heard on January 8, 2013. Plaintiffs concurrently filed a request to shorten time for

21

briefing and hearing the motion for clarification. Doc. 146-12.

22

Pursuant to Local Rule 230(b), at least 28 days’ notice is required between a motion and the

23

hearing. Here, Plaintiffs have provided 35 days’ notice (December 4 to January 8). Consequently,

24

the date sought by Plaintiffs does not require a shortening of time. This request is denied as moot.

25

There currently exists no firm deadline for dispositive motions in light of the Court’s order

26

(doc. 129) and pending the Court’s forthcoming resolution of Plaintiff’s motion to file a Second

27

Amended Complaint. Plaintiffs’ motion further impacts this deadline. Therefore, the Court will

28

1

again modify this deadline. The deadline for dispositive motions shall be 28 days following the

2

resolution of Plaintiffs’ motion for clarification.
