17 or 18, or a date that is convenient for the Court. This is the Commission’s first request to
continue the hearing on Defendants’ Motion to Amend the Scheduling Order. The reasons for

3

this motion are as follows: Counsel for the Commission, Amy J. Oliver, has long-planned travel
4
5

out of the country from August 9, 2017 through August 14, 2017. It is not possible to reschedule

6

this travel. As a result, Ms. Oliver is unable to attend the August 10, 2017 hearing on

7

Defendants’ Motion to Amend the Scheduling Order.

Counsel for the Commission contacted counsel for Defendants Hemp, Inc., Bruce J.

Perlowin, Barry K. Epling, Ferris Holding, Inc., and Hobbes Equities, Inc. regarding this motion

11

to continue the hearing. Counsel indicated that they do not oppose the relief requested in this

12

motion and that they are available for a hearing on both August 17 and 18.

13

Therefore, the Commission respectfully requests that the Court grant its motion and

14

continue the hearing on Defendants’ Motion to Amend the Scheduling Order to either August 17

or 18, or a date that is convenient for the Court.
