Defendants.
Defendants have filed a Motion to Compel Plaintiff’s Deposition Attendance, Request for

11

Sanctions and Request to Continue Dates in Rule 16 Scheduling Order. (Dkt No. 37.)
Northern District of California

United States District Court

12

With respect to the portion of the motion that is Defendants’ renewed request to continue the
13

current trial and dispositive motion dates, the Court DENIES the motion. The trial date and other
14

deadlines were set several months ago, by order issued December 16, 2011, and were confirmed via
15

the Clerk’s Notice issued January 18, 2012, upon reassignment to the undersigned. (See Dkt. Nos.
16

16, 20.) The parties have had adequate time to complete their preparation and comply with these
17

deadlines. Moreover, the Court’s calendar will not permit a 90 day extension.
18

Should the parties wish to consent for all purposes to a magistrate judge who may be able to
19

accommodate the requested trial date, they should meet and confer to discuss whether their clients
20

will consent and to whom. The Court will accept requests for referral to a specific magistrate judge
21

or magistrate judges. Profiles of all magistrate judges are available on the Court’s website at
22

http://cand.uscourts.gov/judges and in the brochure Consenting to a Magistrate Judge’s Jurisdiction
23

In the Northern District of California (.pdf), also available on the Court’s website.
24

The balance of the issues raised in the Motion remains on calendar for regular briefing, with a
25

hearing currently set for November 6, 2012.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
