For good cause stated below, Plaintiffs hereby request that the Court continue 

the scheduling conference currently set for July 14, 2008 to August 25, 2008 at 2:00 

p.m. 

Background

On or about April 21, 2008 Plaintiffs requested entry of default against 

Defendants Mis Amigos Meat Market, Inc. and Uriel Gonzalez. The clerk entered 

default against these defendants on April 24, 2008. On its own motion, the Court 

continued a previously scheduled conference to July 14, 2008, pending Plaintiffs’ filing 

of a motion for judgment against the defaulted parties. 

Good Cause

There is good cause to continue the scheduling conference currently set for July 

14, 2008. Upon entry of default, Plaintiffs promptly sought to obtain the necessary 

evidence to support their motion for judgment and present at a prove-up hearing. 

However, the documents requested have not been produced, and Defendants have 

requested an extension of time to comply with a subpoena duces tecum that Plaintiffs 

served. 

Whereas Plaintiffs have not yet obtained necessary documents from the 

defaulted parties, and the defaulted parties have requested an extension to comply with 

Plaintiffs’ subpoena duces tecum, Plaintiffs request that this Court continue the 

scheduling conference currently calendared for July 14, 2008 to August 25, 2008 at 

2:00 p.m. in Courtroom 5 before the Honorable William B. Shubb, pending Plaintiffs’ 

filing of a motion for judgment on defaulted Defendants Mis Amigos Market, Inc. and
