UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

MERLE RALPH FERGUSON,

Plaintiff,

v.

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No.: 15cv1253 JM (RNB)

ORDER GRANTING IN PART AND 

DENYING IN PART SECOND JOINT 

MOTION TO CONTINUE HEARING 

FOR DEFENDANT’S MOTION FOR 

SUMMARY JUDGMENT

The parties jointly move the court to continue the hearing date for Defendant’s 

motion for summary judgment from July 16, 2018, to July 23, 2018. (Doc. No. 65.) The 

parties seek to continue the hearing date a second time because of a clerical error in their 

first motion to continue. Additionally, the parties wish to alter the briefing schedule on 

the motion for summary judgment because of a potential settlement conference before 

Magistrate Judge Block. Although the parties provide June 19 as the potential date for 

the settlement conference, the court notes that Magistrate Judge Block has yet to decide 

whether to set a settlement conference on calendar at all. (See Doc. No. 62.) Therefore, 

it does not serve as a valid basis for pushing back the briefing schedule by two weeks. 

However, the court will allow the parties an additional week each to submit their briefing.

Accordingly, the court grants in part and denies in part the motion. The hearing 

date for Defendant’s motion for summary judgment, (Doc. No. 59), is continued from 

July 16, 2018, to July 23, 2018, at 10:00 a.m. in Courtroom 5D. Plaintiff’s opposition is 

due June 25, 2018, and Defendant’s reply is due July 2, 2018. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

DATED: June 14, 2018
