FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JOSEPH J. SPEDUS, et al.,

Plaintiffs,

 v.

H&R BLOCK MORTGAGE COMPANY

INC, et al.,

Defendants.

 /

No. 09-05381 JSW

ORDER GRANTING REQUEST

TO WAIVE LOCAL RULES FOR

FILING OF REPLY WITH THE

COURT AND DISCHARGING

FINAL ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE

On February 26, 2010, this Court issued a Final Order to Show Cause to Plaintiffs

regarding Defendants’ pending motion to dismiss, in part because Plaintiffs had not filed an

opposition to the motion by the date set by the Court.

However, on that same date, Plaintiffs filed an Opposition to Defendants’ Motion and

Request for Leave to Amend the Complaint to Add a Cause of Action for Predatory Lending

Fraud, and a Request to Waive Local Rules for Filing of Reply With the Court. At the time the

Court issued its Final Order to Show Cause, it had not yet received those documents. In their

“Request to Waive Local Rules,” Plaintiffs attest that they served Defendants with their

Opposition on February 19, 2010, as ordered by the Court but were unable to file the opposition

on that date. Because it appears that Plaintiffs did serve Defendants with their opposition, the

Court shall accept the late filing. 

It is FURTHER ORDERED that Defendants may have until March 12, 2010 to file a

reply to Plaintiffs’ submission.

It is FURTHER ORDERED that the Final Order to Show Cause is DISCHARGED, and

Plaintiffs shall not be required to file a response to that Order.

It is FURTHER ORDERED that the hearing on Defendants’ motion on March 19, 2010

shall remain on calendar. If Plaintiffs fail to appear at that hearing, the Court shall dismiss this

case for failure to prosecute without further notice to Plaintiffs.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: March 4, 2010
