No. C 15-00799 JSW

Plaintiff,
v.
IGATE TECHNOLOGIES, INC.,

ORDER DISCHARGING ORDER
TO SHOW CAUSE AND SETTING
SCHEDULE ON MOTION

Defendant.
/

14

During the case management conference on August 14, 2015, this Court set the last day

15

to hear dispositive motions for March 11, 2016 at 9:00 a.m. By order dated March 7, 2016, this

16

Court set the pretrial conference and trial for July 18, 2016 and August 8, 2016, respectively.

17

On May 2, 2016, Defendant filed a motion for summary judgment, or in the alternative, for

18

partial summary judgment and set the hearing for June 10, 2016. On May 3, 2016, this Court

19

issued an order to show cause why the Court should not strike the motion as late-filed.

20

Simultaneously, Plaintiff moved for administrative relief to strike Defendant’s motion for

21

summary judgment as late-filed.

22

Defendant’s counsel interpreted the Court’s extension of the discovery deadlines in this

23

matter to result in the extension of the deadline to file dispositive motions. Although this is

24

clearly in error, the Court cannot find that the error was a willful or bad faith violation of the

25

Court’s order setting deadlines.

26

Accordingly, the Court HEREBY DISCHARGES the order to show cause without

27

imposing the sanction of striking the motion for summary judgment and DENIES Plaintiff’s

28

administrative motion for relief. However, due to the late-filing, Plaintiff’s opposition to the

1

motion for summary judgment shall be filed no later than June 3, 2016; the reply shall be due

2

June 10, 2016; and the hearing shall be continued to June 24, 2016 at 9:00 a.m.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
