No. C 10-04511 WHA

Defendant Burger King Corporation filed a request for leave to file a motion seeking a

17

two week continuance for trial. Trial is scheduled for January 9, 2012. Defendants seek a

18

continuance of the trial date due to the fact that lead counsel Michael Joblove’s daughter recently

19

became engaged and set a wedding date of January 15, 2012, to be held in Florida. Attorney

20

Joblove seeks to be present at the wedding and customary pre-wedding activities. The Newport

21

plaintiffs have objected to a two week continuance due to the fact that clients and witnesses have

22

already cleared their schedules for the current trial date.

23

The request for leave to file a motion to continue trial is hereby GRANTED.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
