CASE NO. CV 14-3801 JCS

UNITED STATES REQUEST TO VACATE 

FURTHER CASE MANAGEMENT

CONFERENCE IN LIGHT OF PENDING 

MOTION FOR DEFAULT JUDGMENT, AND 

[PROPOSED] ORDER

The United States of America, through its undersigned counsel, respectfully requests the 

Court to vacate the previously scheduled date of Friday, February 20, 2015, for a continued Case 

Management Conference in light of the government’s recently filed Motion for Default Judgment set for 

hearing before this Court on March 20, 2015, at 9:30 a.m.

As discussed with this Court at the initial Case Management Conference on November 19, 

2014, at this time all potential parties have been properly noticed, all time for filing a claim has long 

passed, and no party has entered this action by filing a claim or by filing any other process. In fact, the 

only claimant in the earlier administrative forfeiture process underlying the present judicial action 

informed the government through counsel that he has actual notice of this judicial action and that he has 

decided not to file any claim or otherwise enter this action.

In light of the absence of any opposing party in this action and the government’s pending Motion 

for Default Judgment that is expected to be unopposed, the government requests that the further Case 

Management Conference now scheduled for Friday, February 20, 2015, be vacated, to be reset if 

necessary following the Court’s consideration of the government’s Motion for Default Judgment. 

DATED: February 12, 2015 Respectfully submitted,

MELINDA HAAG

United States Attorney

/s/ Gregg Lowder

GREGG W. LOWDER

Assistant United States Attorney

[PROPOSED] ORDER

FOR GOOD CAUSE APPEARING, the Case Management Conference currently set for 

February 20, 2015, before this Court is vacated. Scheduling of the Case Management Conference will 

be addressed as necessary by the Court on March 20, 2015, following hearing on the government’s 

Motion for Default Judgment.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
