No. C 10-04511 WHA
Defendant/Counter-Claimant,
v.
ANTELOPE VALLEY RESTAURANTS, INC, et al.
Counter-Defendants.
/
The Court is in receipt of Burger King Corporations’s request to continue the final pretrial
20
conference due to a family emergency of one of BKC’s lead counsel (Dkt. No. 404). The Court
21
will go ahead with the pretrial conference as scheduled for 2:00 p.m. on December 19, 2011.
22
However, the Court is sympathetic to the family emergency, so the principal order of business
23
will be a more general discussion about whether to postpone the trial until after resolution of the
24
companion case, Vallabhapurapu, et al. v. Burger King Corporation. Thus, this will be a higher
25
level strategic case management conference and will not get into the specific motions in limine.
26
In light of the shift in focus of the hearing and given the need for the Court to proceed with the
27

1
currently scheduled date, the Court would appreciate if one counsel for each side will be in
2
attendance.
