IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

ERIC ROSS, et al,

Plaintiff,

 v.

TREX COMPANY, INC.,

Defendant. /

No. C 09-00670 JSW

ORDER CONTINUING CASE

MANAGEMENT CONFERENCE

Now before the Court are requests by the parties to vacate the case management

conference and approve briefing schedules for motions to approve class action settlement and

motions to enforce judgment. 

The Court declines to vacate the case management conference. Although the parties are

working towards settling the remaining claims in this action, the motions to enforce judgment

are still pending. Therefore, the Court CONTINUES the case management conference to

January 18, 2013 at 1:00 p.m. By no later than January 11, 2013, the parties shall file a joint

case management statement. In this statement, Defendant shall address whether it has

attempted to move to dismiss the claims it contends are barred by the judgment in the courts

where the claims are currently pending. If Defendant has not done so, Defendant shall address

why it is not preferential to seek relief in those courts before requesting this Court to enjoin

those proceedings. It appears as though the courts in where the claims are currently pending,

and have been pending for months, would be in a better position to assess whether the claims,

and respective parties, fall within the settlement agreement and release.

With respect to the requested briefing schedule, the Court notes that the parties have not

demonstrated good cause for continuing the deadlines for filing opposition and reply briefs. 

Nevertheless, the Court GRANTS the stipulated request. Defendant shall serve a copy of this

Order on William Clark and McCormick Pier Condominium Association and file proofs of

service by no later than January 4, 2013.

The Court FURTHER ORDERS that the proposed briefing schedule for the motion for

preliminary approval of the class action settlement is APPROVED.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: January 3, 2013
