Defendants’ ex parte application is hereby DENIED for the

following reasons:

A. This Court is unavailable on September 7, 2007, in

attendance at the Ninth Circuit prisoner pro se conference in San

Diego.

B. The motion as originally filed is presently set for

this Court’s next available law and motion hearing date of

Friday, September 14, 2007.

C. Plaintiff’s counsel Kevin Little will be unavailable in

any event, and may well be unavailable on September 14, 2007 as

well, as this Court has been and remains involved in a case that

is presently set for a 3-4 week jury trial presided over by Judge

Wanger commencing on September 5, 2007. This Court is very aware

of Judge Wanger’s ruling that absent extreme good cause showing,

the case involving Mr. Little will not be continued. Inasmuch as

this Court has been the case management magistrate judge in the

matter set for trial with Judge Wanger and knows the intricacies

well, it is not judicially efficient to require Mr. Little to be

in the undersigned’s courtroom rather than in trial especially

since any deposition(s) ordered to take place cannot occur until

Mr. Little has concluded the trial.

It is established and known by the judicial officers of this

court that Mr. Little presently has no associates nor any legal

staff to assist in coordinating calendaring of any sort. 

Therefore, to eliminate any further frustration on the part of

the moving parties herein, the hearing date for the motion

presently before the court is hereby CONTINUED to October 5, 2007

at 9:30 a.m. in Courtroom No. 7 on the Sixth Floor of this court.
