Defendant has filed a Motion for Entry of an Order for Pretrial Preparation. Defendant claims that Plaintiffs have refused to cooperate in the scheduling of this case for trial, and therefore, it has filed the instant motion in order to move this case forward. The Court agrees that the case should be scheduled in accordance with Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 16(b). However, it is more appropriate to schedule this matter through a Case Management Conference. Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED THAT the parties shall appear for a telephonic Case Management Conference on May 5, 2010 at 2:30 p.m. The parties shall meet and confer prior to the conference and shall prepare a joint Case Management Conference Statement which shall be filed no later than five (5) days prior to the Case Management Conference that complies with the Standing Order for All Judges of the Northern District of California and the Standing Order of this Court. Plaintiffs shall be responsible for filing the statement as well as for arranging the conference call. The failure to meet and confer and timely file a Case Management Conference Statement may result in the imposition of sanctions. All parties

shall be on the line and shall call [phone] at the above indicated date and time. Defendant's Motion for Entry of an Order for Pretrial Preparation (Docket 159) is DENIED as moot. IT IS SO ORDERED.
