The following day, Medtronic filed a motion for judgment on the pleadings, and noticed the motion for hearing on October 24, 2005. The next day, Medtronic filed a motion for summary judgment and similarly noticed the motion for hearing on October 24, 2005. On September 20, 2005, Plaintiff Richard Randall ("Randall") filed a motion to remand and noticed the motion for hearing on October 31, 2005. Presently before the Court is Randall's motion to enlarge the time to file oppositions to Medtronic's two motions, and to shorten the deadline for the parties to confer as required by Rule 26(f), Fed.R.Civ.P.

For the sake of judicial economy, Medtronic's two motions and Plaintiff's motion are all tentatively continued to December 12, 2005, 9:00 a.m. The request to shorten the deadline for the parties to confer as required by Rule 26(f), as well as any and all discovery disputes, are referred to Magistrate Judge Seeborg.
