Scheduling Conference Order
On August 11, 2014, counsel for the parties and for the Trustee of the estate in the
Darren Conrad bankruptcy participated in a telephone conference with the Magistrate
Judge to discuss defendants’ request to stay the August 15 hearing on plaintiff’s motion for
default judgment.
Plaintiff’s counsel will circulate a proposed order regarding documents his client
seeks regarding defendants’ operating agreements, financial documents, contracts with
distributors, and the like. If matters proceed as the bankruptcy trustee’s attorney believes
they may, then, on balance, I tend to favor a stay of short duration. Nonetheless, if after
having had an opportunity to consider the trustee’s proposal plaintiff RSS wants to go
forward with the August 15 hearing, plaintiff’s counsel should advise opposing counsel
and counsel for the bankruptcy trustee and schedule a telephone conference with me.
