J & J SPORTS PRODUCTIONS, INC., Plaintiff, v. ROBERT FLOYD REMAN, et al., Defendants /

No. C-09-2560 MMC ORDER RE: PLAINTIFF'S RESPONSE TO COURT'S ORDER; SETTING DEADLINE TO FILE AMENDED COMPLAINT; CONTINUING CASE MANAGEMENT CONFERENCE

United States District Court

By order filed September 18, 2009, the Court directed plaintiff to file, no later than October 16, 2009, an application for default judgment or a statement indicating why it should not be required to do so. Before the Court is plaintiff's Response, filed October 14, 2009, in which counsel states plaintiff "filed its Amended Complaint" on October 14, 2009 (see Response ¶ 2), and requests the Court "forego specifying the due date for [p]laintiff's Motion for Default Judgment" to afford plaintiff time to serve the Amended Complaint (see id. ¶ 4).1 Contrary to the Response, plaintiff did not file an Amended Complaint on October

14, 2009, or on any other date. Consequently, the Court construes the Response as a statement of plaintiff's intent to file an Amended Complaint. In light of such stated intent, plaintiff need not file an application for default judgment at this time. Plaintiff is, however, DIRECTED to file any Amended Complaint no later than November 13, 2009. The Case Management Conference is hereby CONTINUED from December 11, 2009 to February 5, 2010. A Joint Case Management Statement, or a Separate Case Management Conference if no defendant has appeared, shall be filed no later than January 29, 2010. IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: October 22, 2009
