UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

JOSEPH HARDESTY and YVETTE 

HARDESTY, 

Plaintiffs, 

v. 

SACRAMENTO METROPOLITAN AIR 

QUALITY MANAGEMENT DISTRICT, 

et al., 

Defendants.

ORDER 

JAY SCHNEIDER, et al., 

 Plaintiffs, 

 v. 

COUNTY OF SACRAMENTO, et al., 

 Defendants. 

On April 20, 2016, defendants Dennis O’Bryant, Gay Norris, Steve Testa, and 

Curt Taras filed an ex parte application to continue the dates set for the final pretrial conference 

and the trial. ECF No. 277. Defendants request the court vacate the final pretrial conference and 

the trial currently set for June 3, 2016 and July 11, 2016, respectively, and set a status conference 

thirty days after it issues the order on pending motions for summary judgment. Id. at 1, 4.

Defendants argue the resolution of the pending motions for summary judgment may eliminate the 

need for or narrow the scope of the trial. Plaintiffs Joseph Hardesty and Yvette Hardesty 

opposed. ECF No. 278. Plaintiffs argue the parties can continue to work together to prepare for 

the final pretrial conference and the trial, and another continuance, after the first one in February 

24, 2016, would unnecessarily delay the case. Id. at 1–4. 

The court agrees with defendants that the resolution of the currently pending 

motions would be beneficial before proceeding to the final pretrial conference and any trial. 

However, the court finds it need not vacate the current dates entirely. Accordingly, the court 

GRANTS in part and DENIES in part defendants’ ex parte application. The final pretrial 

conference is RESET to July 1, 2016 at 10:00 a.m., and trial date is RESET to August 15, 2016 at 

9:00 a.m. in Courtroom No. 3. The joint pretrial statement shall be filed by June 17, 2016. This 

order resolves ECF No. 277. 

IT IS SO ORDERED. 

DATED: May 2, 2016.
