UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

EVOLUSION CONCEPTS, INC.,

Plaintiff,

v.

CROSS ENGINEERING, LLC, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No.: 18cv871-MSB

ORDER DENYING DEFENDANTS’ EX 

PARTE MOTION FOR LEAVE TO PRESENT 

ORAL ARGUMENTS [ECF NO. 133]

On February 18, 2020, Defendants filed an “Ex Parte Application of Cross 

Engineering and Wes Cross for Leave to Present Oral Argument on Reconsideration 

Motion.” (ECF No. 133.) Defendants seek leave of Court to present oral arguments 

regarding their motion for reconsideration. (Id. at 1.) They state that “[t]he Court has 

devoted way more time—in spades—than any litigant could possibly hope for” and 

“under th[e] circumstances the Court could reasonably conclude that enough is 

enough[.]” (Id.) Defendants nevertheless argue that oral arguments, among other 

things, will likely “ensure that the Court is left with no unanswered questions, and/or 

misconceptions about the parties’ positions, arising from the extensive briefing of both 

the reconsideration motion and Evolusion’s cross motion for enforcement of court 

order.” (Id. at 1-2.)

On February 28, 2020, Plaintiff Evolution Concepts, Inc. filed a response to 

Defendants’ ex parte motion. (ECF No. 142.) Plaintiff states that it “neither opposes nor 

supports” Defendants’ ex parte motion, and asks the Court to clarify whether it intends 

to hold a hearing in connection with the pending motions. (Id. at 1-2.)

Currently, there are the following two related motions pending before the Court: 

(1) “Motion of Cross Engineering, LLC and Wes Cross for Reconsideration of Order Dated 

January 12, 2020” [ECF No. 119], and (2) “Motion of Plaintiff for Enforcement of Court 

Order and Related Relief” [ECF No. 128]. The parties have submitted extensive briefing 

regarding both motions, and the Court takes the motions under submission. (See Civil 

Local Rule 7.1(d)(1); see also ECF No. 124 at 1.) Accordingly, the Court DENIES 

Defendants’ ex parte motion requesting oral arguments [ECF No. 133] and VACATES the 

March 5, 2020 hearing. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: March 3, 2020
