follows:
1
ADMINISTRATIVE MOTION RE CASE MANAGEMENT CONFERENCE
CONTINUANCE REQUEST

2

There is no opposing counsel in this case at this time. This request is based on road
safety. Petitioner’s counsel is presently at her Truckee, California office and was planning on

3
4

driving down to Oakland later today or tomorrow morning to attend the Case Management

5

Conference in this case scheduled for 1.30 pm tomorrow, January 6, 2016. The weather in the

6

Truckee/Tahoe area at the moment and expected to continue in to tomorrow, is that of a severe

7

snow storm having snowed continuously for the last 10 hours, with low temperatures, high

8
9

winds and virtually no visibility on the roads to drive safely. There is also ice on the roads under

10

the snow layers which makes driving unsafe and treacherous. The weather has continued to

11

deteriorate throughout today and this present storm is predicted by the weather forecasters to

12

continue until Friday January 8th 2016. While Petitioner’s counsel has a 4 wheel drive vehicle,

13
14

this vehicle has 93,000 miles on the clock and the breaks can sometimes not function properly in

15

the present conditions which counsel herself considers unsafe to drive in. Counsel feels it would

16

be unsafe for her to drive to Oakland in these conditions and on this basis asserts this as a

17

showing of good cause for this request for a continuance of her appearance at the Case

18

22

Management Conference in this case until January 13th 2016 at 1.30 pm when counsel
understands a further Case Management Conference calendar will be held.
Respectfully Submitted
