In the case management conference statement plaintiff Collectors Universe, Inc. submitted

24

in connection with the last (January 12, 2012) conference, we said that the case might soon be able

25

to progress if pending criminal proceedings were resolved against the primary defendant, Roberto

26

Rodriguez in connection with a preliminary hearing scheduled for February 12 that would result

27

either in a plea or a trial setting. However, the district attorney has informed us that Mr. Rodriguez

28

failed to appear at the February 12 hearing, and that a bench warrant has issued for his arrest.

CASE MGT STATEMENT OF PLAINTIFF COLLECTORS UNIVERSE, INC. Case no. C 10 0260 MEJ

1

Mr. Rodriquez is the key actor in this federal case, and it cannot proceed without him. We

2

therefore propose that the Court order another 90 day continuance as efforts to locate and bring Mr.

3

Rodriguez into custody and to trial continue. If that is acceptable, we will inform the Court of the

4

situation in our CMC statement or at such earlier time as we are able or as the Court directs.
