ORDER GRANTING MOTION TO
CONTINUE TRIAL

v.

WIN WOO TRADING, LLC, et al.,

Re: Dkt. No. 111

Defendants.

United States District Court
Northern District of California

11

On February 1, 2016, Plaintiffs filed a motion to continue the trial date, or alternatively

12

extend discovery deadlines. (Pls.’ Mot., Dkt. No. 111.) Defendants’ deadline to file an opposition

13

was February 16, 2016, but no timely opposition was filed. The Win Woo defendants filed an

14

opposition on February 19, 2016, which will not be considered as it is untimely.

15

Accordingly, the motion is GRANTED as unopposed. See Judge Westmore’s General

16

Standing Order ¶ 22 (“The failure of the opposing party to file a memorandum of points and

17

authorities in opposition to any motion shall constitute consent to the granting of the motion”).

18

The parties shall meet and confer regarding a new trial date, and be prepared to discuss this issue

19

at the March 8, 2016 case management conference.

20

Moreover, in light of the issues raised in the recent discovery disputes, the Court is willing

21

to permit limited fact discovery regarding Safety Trucking and its relationship with Win Woo. The

22

parties should also be prepared to discuss the extent of the limited discovery at the case

23

management conference. The Court will issue an amended case management order once the new

24

trial date is set.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
Dated: February 22, 2016
