UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

MEDE ZEPEDA, CASE NO. CV-F-06-1599 LJO TAG

ORDER RE: STIPULATION TO CONTINUE

SCHEDULING ORDER DATES

Plaintiff,

vs.

GLOBAL HORIZONS, INC.,

Defendant.

____________________________/

On September 21, 2007, Plaintiff Mede Zepeda (“Plaintiff”) and Defendant Global Horizons,

Inc. (“Defendant”) filed a stipulation to continue the scheduling conference order dates (Doc. 25).

Specifically, the parties agreed that the dates set in the March 15, 2007 Scheduling Conference Order

(Doc. 14) be continued 60 days. In support of the stipulation, counsel for Plaintiff, Alegria De La Cruz

of California Rural Legal Assistance, filed a declaration to explain what good cause exists for this

stipulation (Doc. 26), and that declaration is incorporated for those stated reasons to continue. The

parties request this continuance to continue settlement discussions. 

The reasons for the continuance exist, but are good-cause weak. Accordingly, the Court gives

counsel the benefit of the doubt and orders:

I. The following dates shall be RESET:
