Further Joint Case Management Statement and Proposed Order

Further Joint Case Management Statement and Proposed Order

Case Nos. C-01-4740 MJJ and C-03-4579-MJJ

The parties to this consolidated action jointly submit this Further Case Management

Statement in anticipation of the November 1, 2005, Case Management Conference, and for the

reasons stated below, respectfully request that this Court continue the November 1, 2005 Case

Management Conference to February 7, 2006, at 2:00 p.m. via telephone, or such other later date

in February 2006 as is convenient for the Court. 

1. PROCEEDINGS SINCE MARCH 30, 2004, CASE MANAGEMENT

CONFERENCE

Since the March 30, 2004, Case Management Conference, the parties have continued to

conduct discovery on the procedural issues involved in this case. Several depositions have

already occurred, and additional relevant documents have been exchanged.

2. FURTHER ANTICIPATED PROCEEDINGS

This case involves both procedural issues and issues relating to the substance of

the underlying transactions.

There has been significant discovery on the procedural issues and the parties anticipate 

further discovery which they believe will be completed by January 31, 2006. Once discovery is

completed on the procedural issues, the parties anticipate briefing such issues and presenting

them to the Court. The remaining discovery will determine whether the parties can present all

procedural issues to the Court by cross-motions, or whether one or more of the procedural issues

will involve a trial because of disputed facts.

To date, there has been no discovery on the substance of the underlying transactions involved

in this case.

The parties request that the Court set a further status conference to occur on February 7,

2006, at 2:00 p.m. by telephone, at which time the parties anticipate that they will be able to

realistically set a motions hearing date on the procedural issues.

Case Nos. C-01-4740 MJJ and C-03-4579-MJJ

In light of the ongoing discovery regarding the procedural issues, this case is not currently

in the posture for assignment to an ADR process, nor is it ripe for trial setting.
