REQUEST FOR CONTINUANCE

CONFERNCE TO BE EXTENDED

Judge: Honorable Susan Illston 

TO THE HONORABLE SUSAN ILLSTON, JUDGE: 

Your Honor, the Plaintiff, John Dent Wilbur, is requesting that 

the ENE date be granted beyond the last date presently set of 

August 9, 2006. 

 In this case, it was agreed that an ENE conference would be 

set and completed no later than August 9, 2006. Both parties, the 

Plaintiff through his counsel, Donald Gray Drewry, and the 

Defendants, through their counsel, Ms. Hynes, agreed to several

dates to hold the ENE; dates that both parties were available to 

hold this arbitration. However, by the time that Mr. Hall was 

assigned and all parties were able to meet and confer, the 

Defendant’s calendar had filled the dates that they had previously 

been available, as did the Plaintiff’s. Dates that parties had 

available were not available dates with Mr. Hall. The only 

remaining date before the August 9, 2006 deadline that Mr. Hall 

and the Defendants were available was August 8, 2006, but that was 

a date that the Plaintiff’s counsel is to appear in Santa Barbara 

for a criminal trial. Additionally, Mr. Hall informed Plaintiff’s 

counsel that he would have to seek permission from the Honorable 

Wayne Brazil, Judge to waive the personal appearance of Mr. Wilbur 

who is incarcerated in State Prison for the next three (3) years. 

 Since this time, both parties stipulated to continue all 

dates, but the Court rejected that stipulation for lack of good 

cause. Ms. Hynes is out of town, and no new dates have been 

selected for the ENE. Therefore, the Plaintiff is requesting that 

the date of August 9, 2006 as the last date to hold the ENE be 

changed to no later than October 15, 2006; that way both parties 

can set and hold the ENE which hopefully will resolve this matter. 

As we now have an independent arbitrator, Mr. Hall, it is just a 

matter of setting a date with both parties and the arbitrator’s 

schedule coordinating.

 Additionally, the Plaintiff, John Wilbur, is seeking relief 

from personally appearing at the ENE as required by local ADR 

rules which requires him to be present. Obviously, his 

incarceration is a bar to his appearance. The Plaintiff has been 

advised that this Honorable Court lacks jurisdiction to grant this 

request as the hearing is assigned to Oakland, and therefore, the 

request must go to Judge Brazil who is the ADR manager, and a 

request is being made to excuse Mr. Wilbur from personally 

attending. This issue has not been resolved at this time.
