RE:
Liberty Mutual Insurance Company v. US Pacific Transport, Inc.
Case No. 1:24-cv-06140-LJL
Dear Judge Liman:
We represent Plaintiff Liberty Mutual Insurance Company (“Liberty Mutual” or
“Plaintiff”) in the above-referenced action. We write pursuant to Rules 1.C. and 1.D. of Your
Honor’s Individual Rules and Practices to respectfully request an adjournment of the Initial
Conference scheduled for January 30, 2024. This is the second request for an adjournment of a
conference in this matter.
In this action, the Summons and Complaint was properly served on Defendant US Pacific
Transport, Inc. (“US Pacific Transport” or “Defendant”) on September 17, 2024 [ECF Doc. 6].
However, Defendant has not yet answered or appeared in this action. A Clerk’s Certificate of
Default against Defendant was entered on November 14, 2024 [ECF Doc. No. 10]. On January
24, 2025, Plaintiff filed a Motion for Default Judgment against US Pacific Transport [ECF Doc.
13].
In light of the fact that Defendant has still not appeared in this action, Plaintiff believes
that an adjournment of the initial conference indefinitely until after the default judgment motion
is decided would best serve the interests of the Court and judicial efficiency. Alternatively, if the
Court requires a future date for the conference, Plaintiff respectfully suggests at least a 60-day
adjournment until late March 2025.
We thank the Court for its time and consideration of this matter. Please do not hesitate to
contact the undersigned with any questions or comments.
