ORDER re 292 MOTION Expedited Motion To Lift Stay and to Set Expedited Telephonic Hearing on Motion to Substitute Real Party In Interest for Purposes of Settlement and Dismissal filed by Atrua (assignment for the benefit of creditors), LLC. Signed by Judge Hamilton on 6/30/2009. (pjhlc1, COURT STAFF) (Filed on 6/30/2009)

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 AUTHEN TEC, INC., Plaintiff, v. ATRUA TECHNOLOGIES, INC., Defendant. _______________________________/ On June 29, 2009, non-party Atrua LLC filed an "expedited" motion for "miscellaneous relief," seeking an order lifting the stay imposed in the above-entitled action, and substituting Atrua LLC as real party in interest, in place of defendant Atrua Technologies, Inc., for purposes of settlement. Atrua LLC also seeks to have the motion heard telephonically. To the extent that Atrua LLC intends the motion to be an administrative motion under Civil Local Rule 7-11, the court finds that the motion does not fall within the limits of that rule, which applies to "miscellaneous administrative matters, not otherwise governed by a Federal statute, Federal or local rule or standing order of the assigned judge." Civ. L.R. 711(a). In addition, the proper way to request an expedited hearing on a noticed motion is to request an order shortening time, or to submit a stipulated request for an order shortening time. See Civ. L.R. 6-2, 6-3. Here, however, in view of the likelihood that any request for an order shortening time would be granted, the court will interpret Atrua LLC's motion as having made such a request. The request is GRANTED. No. C 08-1423 PJH ORDER UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA
