Plaintiffs herein respectfully request that the Case Management Conference, currently on

19

calendar for November 3, 2015, be continued for approximately 60 – 90 days. Good cause exists for the

20

granting of the continuance, as follows:

21

1.

As the Court’s records will reflect, this action was filed on August 3, 2015.

22

2.

On or about August 5, 2015, Plaintiffs provided a process server with the Summons,

23

Complaint and related documents with instructions to serve the documents upon Defendant. As of

24

today’s date, the process server has made nine (9) attempts to serve Defendant with the above referenced

25

documents, without success.

26

3.

Plaintiffs were recently contacted by an attorney advising that he represents Defendant.

27

After several messages to one another, Plaintiffs’ counsel and Defendant’s counsel discussed this matter

28

today, including Plaintiffs’ unsuccessful attempts to serve Defendant with the Summons, Complaint and

1

related documents. As Plaintiffs have been unable to serve Defendant’s agent for service of process,

2

Plaintiffs inquired as to whether Defendant’s counsel would accept service of the Summons, Complaint,

3

and related documents. Defendant’s counsel advised that, upon approval from Defendant, he would

4

accept service. Upon receipt of the Complaint and related documents, the parties agreed to discuss this

5

matter further in an effort to reach an informal resolution. If Defendant’s counsel is unable to accept

6

service of the Summons, Complaint, and related documents, Plaintiffs will resume attempts to

7

personally serve Defendant and continue efforts to resolve this matter informally.

8

4.

Accordingly, Plaintiffs respectfully request that the Case Management Conference,

9

currently scheduled for November 3, 2015, be continued for approximately 60 - 90 days to allow

10

sufficient time for completion of service of process on Defendant and for the parties to attempt to reach

11

an informal resolution of this matter.

12

5.

There are no issues that need to be addressed by the parties at the currently scheduled

13

Case Management Conference. In the interest of conserving costs as well as the Court’s time and

14

resources, Plaintiffs respectfully request that the Court continue the currently scheduled Case

15

Management Conference.

I declare under penalty of perjury that I am the attorney for the Plaintiffs in the above entitled
action, and that the foregoing is true of my own knowledge.
Executed this 27th day of October 2015, at San Francisco, California.
