Plaintiffs herein respectfully request that the Case Management Conference currently on

19 calendar for May 6, 2013 at 1:30 p.m. be continued for sixty (60) days as follows:
20

1.

As the Court’s records will reflect, this action was filed on March 23, 2012 to

21 compel Defendant’s compliance with the terms of their Collective Bargaining Agreement. Service
22 on Defendant was completed on March 30, 2012. A Proof of Service of Summons was filed with
23 the Court on April 12, 2012. [Docket No. 9.]
24

2.

On May 16, 2012, default was entered against Defendant in this matter. [Docket

25 No. 12.]
26

3.

On July 17, 2012, Plaintiffs filed a Motion for Default Judgment. [Docket Nos. 17-

27 22]

1

4.

On August 24, 2012, this Court issued an Order Denying Motion for Default

2 Judgment. [Docket No. 27]. Plaintiffs have reviewed the Order and have amended the Complaint
3 to address the pleading insufficiency referenced in the Order.
4

5.

Plaintiffs filed and served the Amended Complaint on December 7, 2012. [Docket

5 No. 32]. A Request for Entry of Default on the Amended Complaint has been prepared and will
6 be filed concurrently with this Request.
7

6.

As explained in the last Case Management Conference Statement, Plaintiffs had

8 begun preparing a Motion for Default Judgment on the Amended Complaint, which was
9 anticipated to be filed with the Court in early April, 2013. During preparation of the Motion,
10 Plaintiffs were contacted by Defendant, who inquired about resolving this matter. Plaintiffs
11 provided a breakdown of all amounts due, and Defendant made a lump sum payment of over
12 $194,000, which paid the bulk of the amounts claimed. Plaintiffs have now provided Defendant
13 with a breakdown of all amounts that remain, advising that a waiver of liquidated damages would
14 be recommended in the event that everything else was paid in full. In response, Defendant posed
15 questions about the interest calculations, and Plaintiffs are now preparing a further breakdown
16 relative to interest calculation only. Plaintiffs are optimistic that the remainder due will be paid
17 forthwith, thus resolving the entire action. If this does not occur, Plaintiffs will complete the
18 Motion as to amounts remaining due and file it as originally anticipated.
19

7.

There are no issues that need to be addressed at the currently scheduled conference.

20

8.

Accordingly, Plaintiffs respectfully request that the Case Management Conference,

21 currently scheduled for May 6, 2013, be continued for sixty (60) days to allow Plaintiffs sufficient
22 time for the disposition of the Motion for Default Judgment.
23

9.

Plaintiffs recognize that a case management conference statement is due seven days

24 in advance of the case management conference date and that the statement must include all
25 elements requested in the “Standing Order for All Judges of the Northern District of California –
26 Contents of Joint Case Management Statement” pursuant to Local Rule 16-9. Should this Court
27 require Plaintiffs to file a Case Management Conference Statement, Plaintiffs will do so promptly.
