On August 29, 2008, China Airlines requested a continuance of the hearing 

on the grounds that on October 27, 2008, trial counsel for China Airlines was 

required to personally appear at a Rule 16 Scheduling Conference before the 

Central District Court in the matter of Bonilla-Maldonado, et al. v. TACA 

International Airlines, Case No. CV 08-04216 DDP (RCx) (C.D. Cal.), a mass air 

disaster action arising out of the crash of TACA flight 390 in Honduras on May 30, 

2008. See Declaration of Scott D. Cunningham, ¶ 3. Associate counsel for China 

Airlines was, and remains unavailable to attend the hearing due to maternity leave. 

See Declaration of Julia K. Doyle, ¶ 4. 

On September 2, 2008, the Court granted China Airlines’ request to continue 

the hearing from October 27, 2008, to November 3, 2008. 

On October 1, 2008, trial counsel for China Airlines was notified that the 

Court in Bonilla-Maldonado, et al. v. TACA International Airlines on its own 

motion continued the Rule 16 Scheduling Conference from October 27, 2008, to 

November 3, 2008. See Declaration of Scott D. Cunningham, ¶ 5, Exhibit A. 

Thus, counsel has a calendar conflict with respect to the Rule 16 Scheduling 

Conference and the hearing on the motion to dismiss in the present matter. 

The plaintiffs in this matter are acting pro se. Counsel for China Airlines 

has made several attempts to contact the plaintiffs, by mail and by telephone, to no 

avail. See Declaration of Julia K. Doyle, ¶¶ 2–3. Accordingly, the parties are 

unable to reach a stipulation to continue the hearing on China Airlines’ motion.
