Case No.: C14-03364 JSW

PLAINTIFFS’ REQUEST TO CONTINUE 

CASE MANAGEMENT CONFERENCE; 

[PROPOSED] ORDER

Time: 11:00 a.m. 

Ctrm: Courtroom 5, 2nd Floor

 1301 Clay Street 

Oakland, California 

Judge: The Honorable Jeffrey S. White

Plaintiffs respectfully request that the Case Management Conference, currently scheduled 

for February 6, 2015 at 11:00 a.m. in the above-captioned Court, be continued for approximately 

thirty (30) days. Good cause exists to grant the continuance for the following reasons: 

1. As the Court’s records will reflect, this action was filed on July 24, 2014 to compel 

Defendant to comply with the terms of its Collective Bargaining Agreement. 

2. Defendant was served with the Complaint on August 8, 2014 via substitute service. 

Plaintiffs filed a Proof of Service of Summons on August 25, 2014. 

3. Defendant filed an Answer to Plaintiffs’ Complaint on August 29, 2014. 

4. On October 24, 2014, Plaintiffs filed a Request to Continue Case Management 

Conference because Defendant’s Counsel informed Plaintiffs’ Counsel that they would be filing a 

Motion to Withdraw as Counsel for Defendant due to a breakdown in communication between

counsel and Defendant. On October 27, 2014, the Court granted Plaintiffs’ request and the Case 

Management Conference was continued to February 6, 2015. 

5. On October 29, 2014, Defendant’s Counsel filed its Motion to Withdraw as

Counsel for Defendant. [Dkt. No. 21]. 

6. On December 1, 2014, the Court conditionally granted Defendant’s Counsel’s 

Motion. [Dkt. No. 24]. Since Defendant is a corporation and cannot represent itself in this action, 

the Court ordered that Defendant must retain new counsel and file a Substitution of Attorney no 

later than February 13, 2015. The Court also advised Defendant that if it fails to retain counsel by 

that date, judgment may be entered against it. 

7. As Defendant has not yet filed a Substitution of Attorney, and its deadline to do so 

has not yet passed, in the interest of judicial economy and efficiency, as well as the preservation of 

the Court’s time and resources, Plaintiffs’ respectfully request that the Case Management 

Conference, currently scheduled for February 6, 2015, be continued at least thirty (30) days. Until 

Defendant retains new counsel, there are no issues to be addressed by this Court at the currently 

scheduled Case Management Conference. 

I declare under penalty of perjury that I am the attorney for the Plaintiffs in the above 

entitled action, and that the foregoing is true of my own knowledge. 

Executed this 28th day of January, 2015, at San Francisco, California.
