UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

WAYNE GOLDMAN, et al.

v.

SEAWIND GROUP HOLDINGS PTY LTD, 

et al

CASE NO. C13-1759 SI

Stipulated Administrative 

Motion and Request for Order 

Changing the Date of Pretrial 

Conference 

In the above-captioned case, the Court heard oral argument on plaintiffs’ and 

defendants’ summary judgment motions on December 19, 2015. Later that day, the Court 

sua sponte changed the pretrial conference date to March 3, 2015, and the trial date to March 

16, 2015. 

Defendants’ counsel is presenting this motion to request a change in the date of the 

pretrial conference, and plaintiffs’ counsel has courteously agreed to stipulate to such a 

change. The reason for this request is the unavailability of that defense counsel. He is the 

president of a large international lawyers organization, the International Network of 

Boutique Law Firms (www.inblf.com), and he has a long-standing commitment to attend and 

preside over a meeting of the organization in India (and has non-refundable hotel 

reservations for the event). The first day of the meeting is February 27, and the last day is 

March 2, 2015. Travel between India to San Francisco takes, at best, almost 24 hours.

For this reason, further noting that the Court is unavailable March 4 to 6 and that 

plaintiffs’ counsel is unavailable before March 12, defendants respectfully request that the 

pretrial conference be rescheduled to March 12. If this is unacceptable to the Court, we ask 

alternatively that the conference be rescheduled to February 23. However, in that event, we 

further ask that counsel not be required to submit the pretrial materials that under the Court’s 

Standing Order must be submitted 14 days before the pretrial conference, until February 17 

(the present due date). With the summary judgment motions still unresolved, counsel remain 

uncertain about the scope of the trial and would be hard-pressed to prepare and submit 

pretrial materials by February 9. As is noted above, plaintiffs’ counsel has courteously 

agreed to stipulate to these changes.
