JOINT REQUEST TO CONTINUE STATUS CONFERENCE AND PROPOSED ORDER 05-3248MJJ 

Defendants have misclassified inside sales employees as exempt from overtime requirements. 

Defendants deny the allegations. 

The Court held the first Case Management Conference in this case on April 11, 2006. 

During that conference, the Court set a further status conference for July 25, 2006. Trial is set to 

commence on June 4, 2007. Shortly after the April 2006 Conference, the parties propounded 

discovery and deposition notices on each other. Unfortunately, unanticipated scheduling 

difficulties of the Plaintiff and knowledgeable persons from Defendant prevented counsel from 

scheduling the initial depositions until July 22, 2006 (Plaintiff’s deposition), and August 3, 2006 

(Rule 30(b)(6) deposition). The parties are also continuing their production of the first wave of 

discovery documents. 

Counsel for both sides believe that it would be most efficient to have a short continuance 

of the status conference so that the aforementioned discovery can be conducted prior to the date 

on which counsel apprise the court as to the status of the case. 

For the above reasons, the parties hereby submit this joint request to continue the further 

case management conference from July 25, 2006, to September 12, 2006, at 2:00 p.m.
