TO ALL PARTIES AND TO THEIR ATTORNEYS OF RECORD: 

PLEASE TAKE NOTICE that Defendants Bank of America N.A. (USA) (erroneously 

sued as Bank of America Corporation) and FIA Card Services, N.A. (erroneously sued as MBNA 

Marketing Systems, Inc.) (collectively, “Moving Defendants”) hereby move the Court pursuant to 

local rules 6-3 and 7-11 for a continuance of the case management conference presently set for 

January 22, 2007 at 10:00 a.m. for sixty (60) days or until such time as the pleadings in this 

matter are settled. In support of this motion, Moving Defendants show unto the Court as follows: 

1. To date, Plaintiff has only served four of the twelve named defendants in this case; 

2. Presently pending before the Court are the motions of the four served defendants 

(including the Moving Defendants) to dismiss the First Amended Complaint without leave to 

amend; 

3. Also pending before the Court is Moving Defendants’ Motion for Sanctions 

Pursuant to FRCP Rule 11, which is unopposed; 

4. All of these motions were previously set for hearing on November 13, 2006. 

Pursuant to an order of the Court dated November 9, 2006, the November 13 hearing was vacated 

and the pending motions were taken under submission. 

5. Should any of the respective Defendants’ requested relief be granted, some or all 

of Plaintiffs’ claims will be dismissed or leave will be granted to file a Second Amended 

Complaint. In either case, there will be little need to set out post-pleading discovery, dispositive 

motion and trial dates for at least another 45 to 60 days. 

6. Accordingly, it is in the interests of the parties as well as judicial economy to 

continue the case management conference for sixty (60) days or until such time as the pleadings 

in this matter are settled. 

7. Counsel for defendants Capital One Bank and Transunion LLC were consulted and 

join in this motion. 

8. Counsel for Plaintiffs was consulted and joins in this motion.

DECLARATION OF BRANDON C. FERNALD

I, Brandon C. Fernald, say and declare as follows: 

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

the law firm of Fulbright & Jaworski L.L.P. counsel of record for defendants Bank of America 

N.A. (erroneously sued as Bank of America Corporation) and FIA Card Services, N.A. 

(erroneously sued as MBNA Marketing Systems, Inc.) (collectively, the “Moving Defendants”). 

I make this declaration in support of the Moving Defendants’ Motion for Continuance of the Case 

Management Conference. This declaration is based on my own personal knowledge and if called 

as a witness would and could competently testify thereto.

2. On Thursday, January 4, 2007 I sent an email to counsel for Plaintiffs, Capital One 

Bank and Transunion LLC (to all of the email addresses listed on the electronic docket for this 

case) suggesting that we file a joint motion requesting a continuance of the Case Management 

Conference set for January 22, 2007 pending the outcome of the motions the Court has taken 

under submission. I also requested that if counsel were not amenable to advise me whether they 

would oppose a motion to continue the Case Management Conference. 

3. Counsel for Capital One Bank and Transunion LLC both responded Thursday 

afternoon indicating that they would join in the motion. 

4. I sent a second email to counsel for Plaintiffs on Friday morning, January 5, 2007 

advising him that counsel for the other served defendants had agreed to join in this motion and to 

please advise me by end of business Friday whether or not he intended to join or oppose. 

5. Counsel for Plaintiffs responded via email on Sunday, January 7, 2007 and 

indicated that he would join in the motion as well. 

I declare under penalty of perjury under the laws of the United States that the foregoing is 

true and correct. Executed this 7th day of January, 2007 in Los Angeles, California. 

 /s/
