UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

BENJAMIN PEREZ, 

Plaintiff, 

v. 

MONSTER INC., et al., 

Defendants. 

Case No. 15-cv-03885-EMC 

ORDER DENYING DEFENDANTS’ 

ADMINISTRATIVE MOTION TO 

SHORTEN TIME 

Docket No. 84 

Defendants have asked the Court to hear their motion to stay proceedings on shortened 

time. Having considered the parties’ briefs and accompanying submissions, the Court hereby 

DENIES Defendants’ request for relief. Defendants have failed to establish “substantial harm or 

prejudice that would occur if the Court did not change the time.” Civ. L.R. 6-3(a)(3). In addition, 

although there may be a settlement in principle in the Illinois state proceedings, the Court cannot 

assess whether there should be a stay in the instant case until the settlement terms are finalized 

and, accordingly, shortened time is premature as well. Furthermore, Plaintiffs have raised at least 

a prima facie case that even a settlement in the Illinois state proceedings will not necessarily 

dispose of the instant action (i.e., there is not complete overlap between the instant action and the 

Illinois case).
