JOINT REQUEST TO CONTINUE 

MARCH 21, 2008 CASE 

MANAGEMENT CONFERENCE 

AND [PROPOSED] ORDER 

Date: March 21, 2008 

Time: 10:30 a.m. 

Dept.: 7 

Judge: Maxine M. Chesney 

For the following reasons, the parties jointly request a continuance of, 

or in the alternative, a telephone appearance for the presently scheduled Case 

Management Conference on March 21: 

1. The primary issue in this case is whether the Oakland Ordinance 

in question, if applicable to Pacific Crane, is preempted by any of the three Federal 

law preemption doctrines. One of those Federal preemption doctrines preempts 

state laws which intrude on the exclusive jurisdiction of the National Labor 

Relations Board (“NLRB”). In this case, Defendant has submitted several issues to 

the NLRB that are related to the issues in this case. The NLRB has issued an 

Case 3:05-cv-00988-MMC Document 35 Filed 03/18/08 Page 1 of 3

administrative complaint against Pacific Crane. The NLRB trial is currently taking 

place, and expected to conclude by April 30, but with no decision likely before 

August 2008. 

2. Because the issues presently before the NLRB are related to the 

issues presently before this Court, both parties request that the Case Management 

Conference in this matter be continued until September 15, 2008 or later. Both 

parties expect that the NLRB trial, or any settlement related thereto, is likely to 

resolve the issues presented in this case.
