Plaintiffs,

No. 2:13-cv-0287 KJM CKD

v.

ORDER

GARY CORBELL, et al.,

15

Defendants.

16
On February 26, 2015, attorney Thomas Cregger filed a proposed substitution of

17
18

attorneys1 to substitute in as counsel for both plaintiffs. The same day, attorney Cregger,

19

although the proposed substitution has not yet been allowed by the District Court, filed an ex

20

parte application on behalf of plaintiffs to request additional time to oppose the pending motion

21

for sanctions in which defendants seek terminating sanctions against plaintiffs for their failure to

22

comply with the court’s order directing them to respond to discovery. Plaintiffs also seek

23

continuance of the hearing on the motion. The amount of time plaintiffs seek to oppose the

24

motion is excessive and impractical under the court’s scheduling order.

In a separate affidavit, counsel states that the proposed substitution of attorneys is only
“conditional.”
