PLAINTIFF INTERFACE OPERATIONS LLC, d/b/a AdFam (hereinafter, “Plaintiff” or

“AdFam”) by and through its counsel of record, and DEFENDANT KWAME LUANGISA

(hereinafter, “Defendant” or “Luangisa”), by and through his counsel of record, hereby submit this

24

Interim Status Report pursuant to LR 26-3 regarding the above-referenced matter.

25

I.

Litigation Status

26

This matter commenced with the filing of Plaintiff’s Complaint on February 11, 2016.

27

Defendant filed his answer on March 15, 2016. Pursuant to the Scheduling Order entered by the

28

LR 26-3 INTERIM STATUS REPORT

Case 2:16-cv-00280-JCM-CWH Document 25 Filed 07/14/16 Page 2 of 3

1

Court on April 29, 2016 (ECF No. 24), close of discovery is currently scheduled for September 12,

2

2016, with the deadline to file dispositive motions set for October 12, 2016.

3

On July 13, 2016, Plaintiff inquired of Defendant whether Defendant would be amenable to a

4

sixty (60) day extension of the current discovery deadline of September 12, 2016. The request for an

5

extension of deadlines, if granted, would necessarily move the dates by which this matter would be

6

prepared to go to trial.

7

II.

Request for Continuance of Interim Status Report Concerning Particulars of LR 26-3

8

Local Rule 26-3 requires the parties to provide a statement estimating the time required for

9

trial, three (3) alternative available trial dates, and whether trial will be eliminated or its length

10

affected by substantive motions. The parties are also required to certify that they have considered

11

consent to trial by a magistrate judge and the use of alternative dispute-resolution processes.

12

Plaintiff believes trial will last 3-5 days. Defendant believes trial will last 1-2 days. Plaintiff

13

believes that the length of trial will likely be affected by substantive motions. Defendant believes

14

trial will be eliminated or its length affected by substantive motions.

15

At this time, because of the outstanding request to Defendant regarding the extension of

16

discovery deadlines (and, should Defendant deny such request, a subsequent motion to extend

17

discovery deadlines), Plaintiff requests a continuance on the requirement of LR 26-3 to provide three

18

(3) alternative available trial dates. Defendant does not oppose this request.

19

The parties hereby certify that they have considered consent to trial by a magistrate judge

20

under 28 U.S.C. § 636(c) and Fed. R. Civ. P. 73, use of the Short Trial Program, and the use of

21

alternative dispute-resolution processes including mediation, arbitration, and early neutral

22

evaluation.

23

III.

25

Conclusion
Accordingly, Plaintiff requests this Court enter an order continuing the requirement of LR

26-3 to provide three (3) alternative trial dates for a period of twenty-one (21) days or within such
