UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

RUSSELL E. BURNS, et al., 

 Plaintiffs, 

v. 

 BACKHOE DISPATCH 24/7, INC., a 

California Corporation; DAVID JOHN 

HOURIGAN, an Individual,

 Defendants. 

Case No.: C14-3687 TEH 

PLAINTIFFS’ REQUEST TO VACATE 

CASE MANAGEMENT 

CONFERENCE; and [PROPOSED] 

ORDER THEREON

Date: March 30, 2015 

Time: 1:30 p.m. 

Ctrm: 2, 19th Floor 

450 Golden Gate Ave. 

San Francisco, California 

Judge: The Honorable Thelton E. 

 Henderson 

Plaintiffs respectfully request that the Case Management Conference scheduled for March 

30, 2015, at 1:30 p.m., be vacated. Good cause exists, as follows: 

1. As the Court’s records will reflect, this action was filed on August 14, 2014 to 

compel Defendants to comply with the terms of their Collective Bargaining Agreement. 

2. Defendants were personally served with the Complaint on October 1, 2014. A 

Proof of Service of Summons was filed with the Court on October 8, 2014. 

3. Defendants failed to file responsive pleadings to Plaintiffs’ complaint by their 

deadline. On October 30, 2014, Plaintiffs filed a Request for Entry of Default, and default was 

entered by the Court on October 31, 2014.

4. On November 14, 2014, Plaintiffs requested a continuance to the Case 

Management Conference so that they could make one final attempt to resolve this matter 

informally with Defendants. On November 18, 2014, the Court granted Plaintiffs’ request and the 

Case Management Conference was continued to January 26, 2015. 

5. On January 16, 2015, Plaintiffs requested another continuance to the Case 

Management Conference because Plaintiffs were unable to resolve this matter informally with 

Defendants and needed time to prepare and file a Motion for Default Judgment against 

Defendants. On January 20, 2015, the Court granted Plaintiffs’ request, and the Case Management 

Conference was rescheduled for March 30, 2015.

6. Plaintiffs are filing their Motion for Default Judgment against Defendants 

concurrently with this request. Accordingly, there are no issues that need to be addressed by this 

Court at the currently scheduled Case Management Conference. In the interest of conserving costs 

as well as the Court’s time and resources, Plaintiffs respectfully request that the Court vacate the 

currently scheduled Case Management Conference. 

7. Plaintiffs recognize that a case management conference statement is due seven days 

in advance of the case management conference date and that the statement must include all 

elements requested in the “Standing Order for All Judges of the Northern District of California –

Contents of Joint Case Management Statement” pursuant to Local Rule 16-9. Should this Court 

require Plaintiffs to file a Case Management Conference Statement, Plaintiffs will do so promptly.
