UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

SAN JOSE DIVISION

MARTIN MONICA,

Plaintiff,

v.

BRYAN WILLIAMS, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 15-cv-04857-BLF 

ORDER GRANTING PLAINTIFF’S

REQUEST FOR CONTINUANCE OF 

MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT 

AND SETTING BRIEFING SCHEDULE

[Re: ECF 26]

Before the Court is Plaintiff Martin Monica’s request for denial or continuance of motion 

for summary judgment pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 56(d). ECF 26. Defendants 

do not object to a continuance but do object to the motion being denied outright. ECF 28. 

Although Plaintiff has plainly not satisfied the requirements of Fed. R. Civ. P. 56(d), see Swoger 

v. Rare Coin Wholesalers, 803 F.3d 1045, 1048 (9th Cir. 2015) (listing requirements), the Court 

notes that the hearing set initially by the Court was more than the Court’s required 90-day 

minimum before trial. Accordingly, the Court CONTINUES the hearing to November 17, 2016 at 

9:00 a.m.

The Court sets the following briefing schedule:

October 27, 2016: Deadline for Plaintiff to file an opposition to Defendants’ motion.1 

November 3, 2016: Deadline for Defendants to file a reply.

Dated: September 19, 2016
