**E-Filed 11/19/2010**

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

Case Number 5:10-cv-04986-JF ORDER1 AMENDING BRIEFING SCHEDULE

Defendant Dial Corporation ("Dial") moves for administrative relief, requesting that the Court reset the briefing and hearing dates in the above-captioned matter. It intends to respond to the complaint with a motion to dismiss and seeks to adhere to the thirty-five day notice period for motions as required by Civ. L.R. 7-2(a). Pursuant to the current schedule, Dial was required to answer the complaint by November 15, 2010. Dial argues that it should be treated similarly to other defendants in actions brought by Plaintiff San Francisco Technology, whose motions will be heard on January 20, 2011. Dial relies upon guidance given by the Court at a Case Management Conference on November 5, 2010 at which January 20, 2011 was set as a special hearing date for all Rule 12(b)

motions in such cases and the Court directed defendants to abide by the "35-day schedule" under the Local Rules. Transcript at 7:22-25; 8:9-11.
