AMERICAN CANINE FOUNDATION,

Plaintiff,

 v.

No. C-06-4713 MMC

ORDER DENYING DEFENDANTS’

EX PARTE APPLICATION TO

RESCHEDULE HEARING RE: MOTIONS

TO DISMISS; GRANTING PLAINTIFF’S

EX PARTE APPLICATION TO

RESCHEDULE HEARING RE: MOTIONS

TO DISMISS

(Docket Nos. 43, 47)

Before the Court is defendants’ ex parte application, filed September 28, 2006, to

reschedule to November 3, 2006 the hearings on defendants’ three pending motions to

dismiss. Currently, two of the motions are noticed for hearing October 27, 2006, and the

third is noticed for hearing November 17, 2006. Defendants state they wish to schedule all

three motions for hearing on the same date, for the convenience of the parties and the

Court.

Also before the Court is plaintiff’s ex parte application, filed September 29, 2006, to

continue by thirty days the hearing on the two motions currently noticed for hearing October

27, 2006 or, in the alternative, to set all three motions for hearing November 17, 2006. 

Plaintiff’s counsel attests she is unavailable on both October 27, 2006 and November 3,

2006, (see Chan Decl. ¶¶ 1, 4), but sets forth no justification for a thirty-day continuance of

the October 27, 2006 hearing date.

Because plaintiff’s counsel attests she is unavailable on November 3, 2006, the

Court hereby DENIES defendants’ motion to reschedule the hearings to November 3, 2006. 

As there is no contention that any of the parties is unavailable on November 17, 2006, the

Court hereby GRANTS plaintiff’s motion to continue to that date the hearing on the two

motions to dismiss currently noticed for hearing October 27, 2006. Accordingly, all three

motions to dismiss will be heard on November 17, 2006.

This order terminates Docket Nos. 43 and 47.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
