Case No. C15-1823 TEH

PLAINTIFFS’ REQUEST TO VACATE,

OR ALTERNATIVELY CONTINUE,

CASE MANAGEMENT CONFERENCE; 

and [PROPOSED] ORDER THEREON

Date: February 8, 2016

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 

February 8, 2016, at 1:30 p.m., be vacated, or in the alternative continued to the date and time of 

the hearing on Plaintiffs’ Motion for Default Judgment, filed concurrently herewith. Good cause to 

vacate the Case Management Conference exists as follows:

1. As the Court’s records will reflect, this action was filed on April 22, 2015. 

Defendants were served on June 18, 2015. Plaintiffs filed Proofs of Service of Summons with the 

Court on June 22, 2015 (Dkts. #11 & 12). Defendants failed to plead or otherwise respond to the 

lawsuit, and the Clerk entered default as to Defendants on July 14, 2015 (Dkt. #15). Defendants

were duly served with a copy of the Clerk’s Notice of Default Entry, and a Proof of Service of 

same was filed with the Court on July 14, 2015 (Dkt. #16).

2. On December 18, 2016, Plaintiffs requested a continuance to the Case Management 

Conference as Plaintiffs were finalizing their Motion for Default Judgment, including obtaining 

the necessary declarations and documents in support thereof. Plaintiffs informed the Court that 

they intended to file their Motion for Default Judgment by January 29, 2016 (Dkt. #24). On 

December 22, 2015, the Court granted Plaintiffs’ request and the Case Management Conference 

was continued to February 8, 2016 (Dkt. #25). 

3. As Defendants have still failed and refused to comply with their obligations to 

Plaintiffs, Plaintiffs are filing their Motion for Default Judgment against Defendants concurrently 

with this Request to Vacate the Case Management Conference. 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, or in the 

alternative continue the currently scheduled Case Management Conference to the date and time of 

the hearing on Plaintiffs’ Motion for Default Judgment.
