UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

ANA BIOCINI, et al., 

Plaintiffs, 

v. 

CITY OF OAKLAND, et al., 

Defendants. 

Case No. 14-cv-03315-TEH 

ORDER DENYING 

ADMINISTRATIVE MOTION TO 

EXPEDITE HEARING 

 

On February 24, 2016, Plaintiffs filed a Motion to Set Aside the Settlement 

Agreement of January 8, 2016. Docket No. 49. The same day, Plaintiffs filed an 

Administrative Motion to Expedite Hearing on the Motion to Set Aside the Settlement 

Agreement. Docket No. 51. Plaintiffs request an expedited hearing date of March 21, 

2016. Id. at 1-2. 

 The Civil Local Rules require that “all motions [] be filed, served and noticed in 

writing on the motion calendar of the assigned Judge for hearing not less than 35 days after 

filing of the motion.” Civ. L. R. 7-2(a). Accordingly, with a filing date of February 24, 

2016, the earliest date that Plaintiffs’ Motion could be heard – and also be in compliance 

with the Civil Local Rules – is Wednesday, March 30, 2016. Because the Court holds its 

motion calendar on Mondays, the earliest possible date for hearing Plaintiffs’ Motion is 

therefore Monday, April 4, 2016. 

The only reason provided by Plaintiffs for expediting their Motion hearing is that 

Plaintiffs’ counsel is not available on March 28, 2016. Docket No. 51 at 2. Plaintiffs 

provided no reason that this matter cannot be heard on the earliest available date under the 

Civil Local Rules – April 4, 2016. And given the Court’s otherwise demanding trial and 

motion calendar for the month of March, the Court declines to expedite the hearing to a 

time before the earliest available date.

responses are due by March 9, 2016; and replies are due by March 16, 2016. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
