ORDER REGARDING DEFENDANT’S
“NEED EXTENSION MORE TIME FOR
CORRECTION”

v.
SUSHI ZOO CO.,
Defendant.

15

/

16
Plaintiff filed this action on July 2, 2012, alleging, among other things, denial of right of

17
18

access by a public accommodation under the Americans with Disabilities Act (“ADA”), 42 U.S.C. §

19

12101, et seq. On August 1, 2012, Plaintiff filed a consent to magistrate judge jurisdiction. When

20

this case was filed, the Court issued a scheduling order for cases asserting denial of right of access

21

under the ADA. The parties should be proceeding under that schedule.
On September 5, 2012, Zhen-Wei Lin, on behalf of Defendant, filed a pleading entitled

22
23

“Need Extension More Time for Correction,” stating that Defendant needs “more time to correct the

24

problem.” On September 27, 2012, Defendant filed a consent to magistrate judge jurisdiction.
The parties are ordered to meet and confer regarding Defendant’s need for an extension of

25
26

time to determine how, if at all, the extension affects the scheduling order in this case. No later than

27

November 5, 2012, the parties shall file a joint statement to the Court regarding the status of this

28

case.
The Court notes that Defendant should obtain counsel to represent it in this action and that it

1

may not appear pro se. Under this Court’s Local Rules, “a corporation, unincorporated association,

2

partnership or other such entity may appear only through a member of the bar of this Court.” Civil

L.R. 3-9(b).
