ORDER DENYING DEFENDANTS’

OBJECTIONS AND REQUEST FOR

STATUS CONFERENCE 

(Docket No. 309)

Before the Court is defendants’ Objection to Plaintiff’s Motion for Leave to File

Motion for Reconsideration (“Objection”), filed May 23, 2006. The Local Rules of this

District do not provide for the filing of objections to a motion for leave to file a motion for

reconsideration “[u]nless otherwise ordered by the assigned Judge.” See Civil L.R. 7-9(d). 

No such order was issued and, in any event, prior to the Court’s receipt of the Objection,

the Court filed an order granting the requested leave.1

Included in the Objection is a request for a status conference for the purpose of

setting a briefing schedule and hearing on defendants’ motion for terminating sanctions, in

light of a recent ruling by the Ninth Circuit Bankruptcy Appellate Panel (“BAP”) holding said

motion “is not subject to the automatic stay.” (See Defendants’ Objection to Plaintiff’s

Motion for Leave to File Motion For Reconsideration; Request for Status Conference,

Attachment C at 7.) Once the BAP’s order becomes final, however, see Fed. R. App. Proc.

4(a), 6(b)(1), defendants may renotice their motion without obtaining specific leave from

this Court.

Accordingly, defendants’ Objection is denied without prejudice and their request for

a status conference is DENIED as moot.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
