In accordance with Civil L.R. 6-2 and 7-12, and with the consent and agreement 

of all parties, we respectfully request that the Court vacate the Case Management Conference 

currently scheduled for April 28, 2006 at 1:30 p.m. and hold the Case Management Conference 

on May 12, 2006 at 1:30 p.m. Plaintiff’s counsel has a prior appointment that cannot be 

rescheduled and counsel for each defendant have agreed to this date change to accommodate 

plaintiffs’ counsel. No previous requests to change the date of this Case Management 

Conference have been made. It is believed that the short delay will not have a prejudicial impact 

on the case schedule. The Joint Case Management Statement will be due May 5, 2006. 

 Respectfully submitted,
