Because oral argument will not be of material assistance, 1

the Court orders this matter submitted on the briefs. E.D. Cal.

Local Rule 78-230(h). 

2

In bringing the present Motion, Service Employees

International Union, Local 1000 (“Defendant”) seeks to continue

Plaintiffs’ Motion for Class Certification set to be heard in

this Court on May 1, 2006. Plaintiffs have not opposed

Defendant’s Motion.1

Plaintiffs’ Motion for Class Certification was originally

set for hearing on November 3, 2005. However, in order to accord

Defendants the opportunity to conduct class-related discovery,

Plaintiffs’ Motion was taken off calendar. Plaintiffs have since

renewed that Motion and the hearing was reset for May 1, 2006. 

On April 13, 2006, Defendants filed a Motion for Partial Judgment

on the Pleadings that is set to be heard June 5, 2006.

Given the non-opposition by Plaintiffs of Defendant’s

Motion, having reviewed the papers, and good cause appearing

therefore, Defendant’s Motion for Continuance is GRANTED.

Plaintiffs’ Motion for Class Certification is continued to August

7, 2006 at 09:00 a.m. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

DATED: April 20, 2006
