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

24

in connection with the last (April 12, 2012) scheduled conference, we reported that the primary

25

defendant in the case, Roberto Rodriguez, had not appeared at a state court preliminary hearing

26

relating to criminal proceedings instituted against him. We proposed that the Court order another 90

27

day continuance as efforts to locate and bring Mr. Rodriguez to trial continued.

1

The Alameda County District Attorney recently informed us that Mr. Rodriquez had been

2

located, had appeared before the state criminal court and that, as a result, criminal proceedings had

3

been largely concluded.

4

With fifth amendment concerns apparently no longer an issue, and it apparently also being

5

possible for us to serve Mr. Rodriguez with discovery and other case documents. it appears that this

6

action now will be able to proceed. The clerk entered Mr. Rodriguez's default on April 16, 2010

7

(case doc. # 10), but discovery will be necessary concerning the identity of other potential

defendants, as well as concerning damages and injunction issues.
We therefore request that the Court re-instate its Order Setting Initial Case Management
Conference and ADR Deadlines (case doc. #2, filed 01/20/10, copy attached hereto), and order
that all related deadlines be adjusted accordingly, using July 12, 2012 as the basis for calculation
instead of the 1/20/10 "Complaint filed" date shown in that 1/20/10 Order. The Court also should
set another case management conference date.
We will appear at the July 12, 2012 unless informed that no appearance will be necessary.
Date: July 5, 2012
