II. FINAL PRETRIAL CONFERENCE

Plaintiff’s counsel has requested additional time to

prepare his pretrial statement, which was due on December 30,

2005, ten court days before the scheduled pretrial conference. 

L.R. 16-281 (E.D. Cal. 1997). In support of this request,

plaintiff’s counsel notes that the plaintiff in this action died

on May 14, 2005 and counsel has not yet been retained by

plaintiff’s estate to pursue the decedent’s claim. Complicating

matters further, plaintiff’s wife, Gabriela Constantin, resides

in Romania and communication with her, which requires the use of

an interpreter, has been “non-existent.” Lucian Stanciu, who has

power of attorney over investigations concerning plaintiff’s

death, has filed a petition for status as Special Administrator

of the estate. However, plaintiff’s counsel has not yet received

an order of appointment establishing the estate’s representative.

In light of these circumstances, the court hereby

vacates the Pretrial Conference scheduled for January 17, 2006. 

A new date will be assigned at the April 10, 2006 status

conference.

III. TRIAL SETTING

The court also hereby vacates the Trial scheduled for

March 14, 2006 for the same reasons explained above. A new date

will be assigned at the April 10, 2006 status conference.

DATED: January 13, 2006
