IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

SAN JOSE DIVISION 

SURF AND SAND, LLC, 

 Plaintiff, 

 v. 

CITY OF CAPITOLA, et al., 

 

 Defendants. 

____________________________________/

No. C 09-5542 RS 

ORDER CONTINUING HEARING 

AND REQUESTING FURTHER 

BRIEFING 

Defendants’ motion to dismiss is presently calendared for February 3, 2010. As the parties 

are aware, in October of 2009 

the Ninth Circuit heard oral argument in the related case, Surf and Sand LLC. v. City of 

Capitola, Case No. C 07-05043-RS (“Surf and Sand I”). The parties hold divergent views as to 

whether this Court’s rulings in Surf and Sand I have any impact on the issues presented in this case. 

Without prejudging the extent to which, if at all, a decision by the Ninth Circuit in Surf and Sand I, 

could potentially be dispositive of any of the issues presented here, it is likely that the Ninth 

Circuit’s decision, regardless of outcome, will be at least instructive, perhaps highly so. 

Accordingly, in the interests of judicial efficiency, the hearing on defendants’ motion to dismiss is 

hereby continued to March 11, 2010, at 2:30 p.m., in Courtroom 3, Seventeenth Floor, of the U.S. 

District Court, located at 450 Golden Gate Avenue, San Francisco, California.
