Case No. C 10-01850 (CW) – 1 – 

STIPULATED REQUEST AND [PROPOSED] ORDER TO CONTINUE INITIAL CASE MANAGEMENT 

CONFERENCE 

Pursuant to Local Rules 16-2(e) and 7-12, Plaintiff Lift-U, a division of Hogan Mfg., Inc. 

(“Plaintiff”), on one hand, and Defendants Ricon Corp. and Westinghouse Air Brake Technologies 

Corporation dba Vapor Bus International (collectively, “Defendants”), on the other hand, hereby 

request a continuance of the Initial Case Management Conference to August 24, 2010 at 2:00 p.m., 

subject to the Court’s calendar, for the following reasons: 

1. On June 22, 2010, the Court issued its Case Management Scheduling Order (Doc # 

13), which set the Initial Case Management Conference for August 3, 2010 at 2:00 p.m. 

2. As set forth in the accompanying declaration, Scott Baker, a lead attorney for 

Defendants, has a pre-arranged commitment in Washington D.C. which prevents him from either 

personally attending or dialing in using the Court’s CourtCall system. The parties therefore seek a 

brief continuance of the Initial Case Management Conference. 

3. Pursuant to the Court’s Certificate of Unavailability, the first available date for an 

Initial Case Management Conference after August 3 is August 24, 2010. The parties have met and 

conferred with one another, and August 24, 2010 at 2:00 p.m. presents no conflicts for any lead 

attorneys. Moreover, no other Court-ordered dates shall be affected by this proposed continuance.
