IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

VIESTE, LLC, et al.,

Plaintiffs,

 v.

HILL REDWOOD DEVELOPMENT, LTD.,

et al.,

Defendants.

 /

No. C 09-04024 JSW

ORDER RE MOTION FOR

ADMINISTRATIVE RELIEF

The Court has received Defendants’ Motion for Administrative Relief to Extend Fact

Discovery Cut-Off to Allow for Discovery in Mexico, Date of Trial, and Related Pretrial

Deadlines, which was filed on August 10, 2010. The Court has now issued its Order granting in

part and denying in part Defendants’ motion for leave to file a First Amended Counterclaim. In

that Order, the Court stated that its decision was based, in part, on its willingness to grant a

limited extension of impending deadlines. 

A further case management conference is scheduled for August 27, 2010, and a joint

case management conference statement is due on August 20, 2010. In light of the Court’s

ruling on the motion for leave to amend, the Court shall grant the parties one final opportunity

to resolve their disputes regarding scheduling without court assistance. If they are unable to do

so, Plaintiffs should submit their response to Defendant’s administrative motion on August 20,

2010, and the parties need not include that dispute in the joint case management conference

statement.

Accordingly, the parties are HEREBY ORDERED to take a deep breath and then to

once again meet and confer in person to see if they can resolve their differences regarding the

deadlines for: (1) fact discovery cut-off; (2) expert discovery and disclosure; (3) the deadline to

hear dispositive motions, (4) pretrial; and (5) trial. The Court notes that it has numerous cases

on its docket and has expended a great deal of energy on this case merely to enable the parties

to the reach a stage where the pleadings are at issue. As such, the Court strongly encourages

parties to expend their time and energy on more substantive matters and to reach an agreement

on the proposed deadlines.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
