Re: Dkt. No. 129

Defendants.

Before the court is plaintiff’s ACP, Inc.’s administrative motion to request a case
management conference (“CMC”). See Dkt. 129. ACP reports that it has been unable to

United States District Court
Northern District of California

10

take the deposition of a key witness, defendant Gordon Howard’s CEO Stan Schwarz,

12

due to Schwarz’s health problems. This has “prohibited fact discovery from being

13

completed,” and disrupted the case management schedule such that the current

14

deadlines are unworkable “in light of the delay and uncertainty regarding Mr. Schwarz’s

15

availability.” Id. Although defendants Gordon Howard and Skypatrol were permitted to

16

proceed with a limited deposition of Schwarz on March 3, 2016, Dkt. 132, ACP was

17

unable to attend as it was afforded only a few days’ notice. Gordon Howard does not

18

oppose the request for a CMC, see Dkt. 130; Skypatrol has not responded.

19

Good cause appearing, the court hereby GRANTS ACP’s motion and sets a CMC

20

for March 16, 2017, at 2:00 p.m. in Courtroom 3, 3rd Floor, Federal Courthouse, 1301

21

Clay Street, Oakland, California. The parties shall submit a case management statement

22

containing their proposals as to reasonable modifications to the pretrial schedule by

23

Thursday, March 9.
