Presently before the court is the matter of Mott v. The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc.
et al, case no. 2:16-cv-01949-JCM-EJY.
On August 15, 2019, plaintiff Rodney Mott filed motions requesting that the court continue
trial and shorten time on the motion to continue trial. (ECF Nos. 146, 147). The court entered an
order requiring defendants to submit their response by August 26, 2019, to be followed within
three (3) days by plaintiff’s reply. (ECF No. 154). In their response, defendants have not opposed
plaintiff’s motion to continue trial. (ECF No. 155).
Plaintiff represents that he is a referee for the National Basketball Association (“NBA”),
and that each year he is obligated to attend mandatory training in New York, New York. Id.
Plaintiff alleges that “several weeks ago, the NBA rescheduled [his] mandatory training session to
begin on Sunday, September 22 and to end on Friday, September 27.” Id. Plaintiff asserts that
this development was unexpected, and that to maintain a trial date of September 23, 2019, would
force him to choose between appearing at his own trial or appearing for his mandatory, out-ofstate employment training. Id.
