SCHRADER DECL. ISO STIP. TO CONTINUE CASE MANAGEMENT CONFERENCE E 1

sf-3697264 

I, Grant C. Schrader, declare as follows: 

1. I am an attorney licensed to practice law in the State of California and am admitted 

to practice before this Court. I am an associate with the law firm of Morrison & Foerster LLP, 

counsel of record for defendants CPA Global Limited and CPA Global North America, LLC 

(collectively, “Defendants”). I submit this Declaration in support of the parties’ stipulation to 

continue the case management conference. I make this Declaration based on my personal 

knowledge and discussions with Plaintiff’s counsel, Geoffrey Neri. If called as a witness, I would 

testify to the facts set forth below. 

2. Plaintiff filed its Complaint in this case on June 29, 2016, and served the 

Complaint on CPA Global North America LLC on July 1, 2016. Defendants’ counsel accepted 

service of the Complaint on behalf of CPA Global Limited on July 18, 2016. 

3. On July 20, 2016, the parties stipulated to extend Defendants’ deadline to respond 

to the Complaint until September 6, 2016. (Dkt. 12.) 

4. On August 18, 2016, Defendants filed a motion to transfer this action to the 

Eastern District of Virginia on the basis of a forum-selection clause in the parties’ contract and 

under the forum non conveniens factors codified in 28 U.S.C. § 1404(a). (Dkt. 20.) 

5. On August 24, 2016, the parties stipulated to a briefing schedule on Defendants’ 

motion to transfer and to extend Defendants’ time to respond to the Complaint until 30 days after 

the Court’s order on the motion to transfer. (Dkt. 22.) The Court granted the parties’ stipulation 

the following day. (Dkt. 23.) 

6. Plaintiff filed its Opposition to Defendants’ motion to transfer on September 8, 

2016 (Dkt. 25), and Defendants filed their Reply on September 22, 2016 (Dkt. 26). The motion is 

set for hearing on October 25. (Dkt. 24.) 

7. The initial case management conference is scheduled for October 12, 2016. 

8. Given the motion to transfer implicates fundamental issues concerning the proper 

venue for this case and Defendants have not yet answered the Complaint, the parties have agreed

SCHRADER DECL. ISO STIP. TO CONTINUE CASE MANAGEMENT CONFERENCE 2

sf-3697264 

to continue the case management conference to a date to be determined by the Court after the 

Court’s order on the motion to transfer. 

9. There is good cause for this continuance. This Court’s adjudication of the motion 

to transfer may result in this case being heard in front of a different judge, in a different district 

court, applying different local rules and procedures and potentially a different state’s law. It will 

also necessarily impact the schedule in this case going forward. Thus, continuing the case 

management conference would promote the most efficient use of the Court’s and the parties’ 

resources. 

I declare under penalty of perjury under the laws of the United States of America that the 

foregoing is true and correct and that this Declaration was executed in San Francisco, California, 

on this 28th day of September, 2016.
