Defendants.

In January 2017, defendant the Regents of the University of California (erroneously

16

sued as “the California Continuing Education of the Bar”) moved to dismiss all claims against it

17

(Dkt. No. 31). While the motion was pending, plaintiff Ronald Mazzaferro voluntarily

18

dismissed the Regents of the University of California and contended that voluntary dismissal

19

mooted the pending motion (Dkt. No. 41). This order understands Mazzaferro’s voluntary

20

dismissal as dismissal of the Regents (the true entity behind the “California Continuing

21

Education of the Bar”). Accordingly, the Regents’ motion is DENIED AS MOOT.

22

Additionally, the parties should be prepared to argue the pending motion to dismiss and

23

the motion to set aside default on MARCH 9, 2017. The hearing on MARCH 30, 2017, is

24

VACATED. All other dates remain unchanged.

25

IT IS SO ORDERED.
