The Order Setting Initial Case Management Conference and ADR Deadlines
2 (Docket No.2) set an Initial Case Management Conference for March 26,2010 at 1 :30 p.m.. This
3 conference and the corresponding deadline for the fiing of a Case Management Statement remain
4 on the Court's website and calendar although the Court vacated the Case Management Conference
5 in its Amended Order Regarding Pending Motions (Docket No. 21) at 2: 1-2.
6
4.
The case is not yet at issue, in that no answer has been fied by Defendants. The
7 Court's ruling on the pending motions will impact the factual and legal issues in this case. The
8 parties cannot adequately ascertain their obligations and settlement posture until the Court has
9 ruled on the motions and the case becomes at issue.
10
5.
Defendants therefore request that the Court postpone the parties' ADR obligations
11 until twenty days after the case is at issue, i.e. Defendants fie an answer to the complaint and
12 confirm the cancellation of the Case Management Conference.
13
6.
No previous request to continue the ADR deadlines has been requested and the
14 postponement will not have any effect on any other court dates.
15
7.
Defendants attempted to obtain Plaintiffs agreement on a stipulation to the
16 postponements sought by this motion, but Plaintiffs refused to do so. The undersigned spoke with
17 Mr. Wang on the morning of
Friday February 26,2010, explained the ADR and Rule 26
18 requirements and proposed a stipulation to postpone those requirements. I also sent an e-mail to
19 Mr. Wang attaching a form of
this motion in the form of a stipulation. On Monday March 1,
20 2010, Mr. Wang rejected the proposal to stipulate in an e-mail response, stating that "plaintiffs
21 have no intention to agree on any stipulation with defendants at this time." I have assumed that
22 Plaintiff Mr. Wang speaks for his wife in this matter.
23
I declare that the forgoing is true under penalty of perjury under the laws of the State of
24 California and that this declaration was executed on March 2,2010 at San Francisco, California.
