ORDER DENYING MOTION FOR
CONTINUANCE AND STAY

v.
FF MAGNAT LIMITED ET AL.,

15

Defendants.

/

16

Defendant FF Magnat Limited (“Magnat”) moved to dismiss Plaintiff’s complaint for

17
18

lack of personal jurisdiction. See dkt. 64. That motion is set for hearing March 8, 2013,

19

along with three other pending motions in the above-captioned matter. See dkts. 66, 70, 77.

20

Magnat has now filed an “Emergency Motion for Continuance and to Stay Time to File

21

Reply Brief,” arguing that the parties would benefit from more time to work out discovery

22

disputes before the reply is filed and the motion is heard See dkt. 86.

23

Having considered the papers submitted by both sides, the Court does not find that

24

Magnat has shown good cause for a continuance in light of the nature of its jurisdictional

25

motion and the lack of a sufficient showing that the Court’s resolution of the motion will

26

depend on outstanding discovery. The Court DENIES Magnat’s motion without prejudice to

27

//

28

//

1

its ability to further argue the relevance of any outstanding discovery at the hearing on the

2

jurisdictional motion.

3

IT IS SO ORDERED.
