 Plaintiff Robert Vener, through his counsel, Richard M. Grant, hereby requests this Court 

continue the hearing presently set for June 24, 2005 and to order a new schedule for the filing and 

hearing of plaintiff's Motion for Entry of Default Judgment. 

 This Application is based upon the following grounds and facts: 

 1. Following the transfer of this matter to the Southern District of Florida, the case was 

settled as to all answering defendants, Gregory Martin and Adorno & Yoss, P.A., and said 

defendants were dismissed with prejudice on February 17, 2005. Subsequent thereto, this matter 

was transferred back to this Court.

 2. The remaining defendants, who reside in Pennsylvania and who were served in April 

2004 and November 2004, have never answered or otherwise appeared in this action and are in 

default.

 3. Pursuant to the Court's order on April 22, 2005, counsel for plaintiff was to file the proofs 

of service against the remaining defendants and file his motion for entry of default to be heard on 

June 24, 2005. 

 4. Counsel was unable to locate the proofs of service, however, until following June 9, 

2005. Accordingly counsel was not able to timely file his Motion. Additionally, counsel has a jury 

trial starting in the Marin Countuy Superior Court at 10:00 a.m. on June 24, 2005. 

 5. There being no prejudice to any party, plaintiff respectfully requests additional time in 

which to file the proofs of service, and to prepare and file his Motion for Entry of Default Judgment. 

Plaintiff requests that a new scheduling order be entered ordering proofs of service to be filed on or 

before June 30, 2005, that plaintiff's Motion for Entry of Default Judgment be heard on August 26, 

2005 at 9:00 a.m. and that said motion be filed on or before July 22, 2005.
