Case No.: C06-4991 PVT

ORDER DENYING REQUEST FOR

ORDER SHORTENING TIME FOR

MOTION FOR REMAND;

VACATING PRETRIAL DATES AND

SETTING FURTHER CASE

MANAGEMENT CONFERENCE

On April 27, 2007, Intervenor Cornerstone Propane filed a Motion to Remand and a

Stipulated Request for an Order Shortening Time for Hearing on the Motion to Remand. The

Request for an Order Shortening Time sought to hold the hearing on May 8, 2007, six court days

later. The Proposed Order did not set forth dates for Opposition or Reply briefing. The

Declaration in support of the Request for an Order Shortening Time explained that a hearing on

May 8, 2007 is necessary in light of the upcoming deadlines for expert discovery and hearing of

dispositive motions as well as the approaching dates for a pretrial conference and trial. 

Six court days is insufficient time for the parties and the court to prepare for a motion to

remand. Pre-trial preparation, however, is not warranted at this time in light of the pending

motion for remand. Accordingly, It Is Hereby Ordered that:

1. The Request for an Order Shortening Time is Denied and the Motion for
