PM on June 11, 2015, which is 10:15 AM in Las Vegas. As such, Plaintiff’s counsel will be unable appear telephonically as he will be mid-flight when the conference is set to begin.
On May 27, 2015, Plaintiff’s counsel conferred with Defendant’s counsel, Scott M. Abbott, who indicated that he is unopposed to Plaintiff’s Motion for Continuance.
Plaintiff asks the court to continue the hearing setting as Plaintiff’s counsel will be unable
to appear telephonically.
II.
Argument
The court has the discretion to grant a continuance as part of its inherent power to control
its own docket to ensure that cases proceed before it in a timely and orderly manner.
This is the first status conference continuance requested in this case by the Plaintiff.
This case is currently set for a Status Conference hearing on the docket on June 11, 2015
at 10:00 A.M.
Based upon the foregoing, the Plaintiff respectfully requests that the Court grant a continuance in this case.
This request for continuance is not merely for delay, but so that justice may be done.
III.
Prayer
WHEREFORE PREMISES CONSIDERED, Plaintiff Jeffrey Martin Schulman prays that
the Court grants the Motion for Continuance and continue this hearing so that Plaintiff’s counsel
may appear telephonically.
