IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

SAN JOSE DIVISION

MARTIN LUTHER OREN, et al.,

Plaintiffs,

v.

COUNTY OF SANTA CLARA, et al.,

Defendants.

No. C-05-05100 RMW

ORDER GRANTING IN PART AND

DENYING IN PART PLAINTIFFS' MOTION

FOR ORDER SHORTENING TIME;

CONTINUING PRETRIAL DATE

[Re Docket No. 67]

Plaintiffs have moved for an order shortening time to hear a motion for leave to file a fourth

amended complaint to name nurse Hillary Dwyer as a defendant. In the alternative, they ask the

court to decide their motion for leave to amend the complaint ex parte, without opposition by

defendants. Defendants oppose plaintiffs' motion for order shortening time, noting that they intend

to vigorously oppose plaintiffs' motion to amend. 

The court agrees that defendants should be given the opportunity to oppose. Because the

pretrial conference in this case is imminent, the court will hear plaintiffs' motion for leave to amend

at the pretrial conference. But to give defendants an opportunity to prepare an opposition, the court

will continue the date for the pretrial conference to April 27, 2007.
