Preliminary Injunction and Class Certification.” Earlier that day, Plaintiff circulated a draft

“Stipulated Request for Order Changing Time and [Proposed] Order” pursuant to Civil L.R. 6-2 to

Defendants. Defendants did not ultimately accept that draft request. Rather, at the request of one of

the Defendants’ counsel, most of the language from the January 11, 2008 “Stipulated Continuance”

was taken from a draft stipulation prepared by that counsel.

additional information. Pursuant to the Standing Order, the rescheduling of a

hearing date for a motion does not change the date on which an opposition brief or

reply brief is due; any opposition brief remains due not less than 21 days prior to

the date of the originally noticed hearing and any reply brief is due not less than 14

days prior to the originally noticed hearing date. 

K. On January 17, 2008, the Court’s chambers contacted counsel and informed them

that the first available dates for a hearing on Plaintiff’s Motion for Preliminary Injunction and

Class Certification were February 27, 2008 or April 2, 2008.

L. Carlson Companies, Inc. filed its answer to Plaintiff’s Complaint on January 22,

2008.
