Case No. C 09-05364 JW

DEFENDANT FAYE KIMURA'S 

REQUEST FOR CONTINUANCE OF 

DEADLINES SET FORTH IN INITIAL 

CASE SCHEDULING ORDER

Trial Date: N/A

Defendant Faye Kimura respectfully requests a continuance of the deadlines set forth in the 

Court's Case Scheduling Order as well as continuance of the Initial Case Management Conference. 

Specifically with respect to the Court's Case Scheduling Order, Defendant Kimura seeks a 

continuance of meet and confer requirements pertaining to initial disclosures, settlement, ADR and 

discovery, the requirement to select an ADR process, and the requirement to file and serve a Rule 

26(f) Report and Case Management Statement.

This request is brought because Defendant Kimura's counsel is currently unaware of the 

whereabouts of Plaintiff Van Kim Lai. Although documents have been served to the address last 

reported by Ms. Lai to this Court, those documents have been "returned to sender." Indeed, on March 

22, 2010, this Court apparently also had its mail returned after attempted delivery to Ms. Lai. Thus, it

does not appear possible to timely comply with the Court's Scheduling Order pertaining to meeting 

and conferring, ADR, and Initial Disclosures. 

Moreover, there are dispositive motions pending before this Court, set to be heard on April 12, 

2010 and June 7, 2010. Thus, at this time, it is not known what parties and issues will be involved in 

the case and it appears premature to provide the required selections and disclosures.

Given this situation, it would also appear premature to have a Case Management Conference

on April 19, 2010.

Defendant Kimura suggests a continuance of these matters until after dispositive motions have 

been heard in June of 2010.

Although the undersigned has not had the opportunity to discuss this request with all parties, 

this request has been discussed with Lance Burrow, the attorney for Elizabeth Goodley. Mr. Burrow 

had advised that he concurs with this request for an extension of deadlines.
