ORDER TAKING CROSSMOTIONS FOR SUMMARY

JUDGMENT UNDER

SUBMISSION AND MOVING

TRIAL DATE AND DATE FOR

PRETRIAL CONFERENCE

In this action for declaratory relief, abuse of process, unfair competition, and breach

of contract, the parties have moved for summary judgment or summary adjudication or to

dismiss. The motion for summary judgment or summary adjudication by Plaintiff E. & J.

Gallo Winery has been set for hearing on April 3, 2006, at 1:30 p.m. The corresponding

motion to dismiss by defendant Andina Licores S.A. (“Defendant”) was moved to the same

date by previous order of the court. The court has examined the materials submitted by the

parties and has determined that additional time will be required for the court to give full

consideration to the issues raised. Given the additional time required for the full

consideration of the parties’ submissions and given the court’s need to manage its docket, the

court finds it must also reschedule the trial date currently set for May 23, 2006 to August 15,

2006, with the date for the pretrial conference to be reset to July 20, 2006. 

Pursuant to Local Rule 78-230(h), the motion for summary judgment and motion to
