ORDER REGARDING PLAINTIFFS'

SEPTEMBER 4, 2006 EX PARTE

APPLICATION TO CONTINUE HEARING

[Re Docket No. 130]

Plaintiffs seek by ex parte application to continue the hearing date for motions to dismiss

filed by six of the named defendants1

 currently set for September 8, 2006. Plaintiffs merely seeks

continuance for "at least a week" and does not suggest any alternative dates. In addition, it is clear

request for continuance. Plaintiffs filed a similar ex parte application for continuance of the

previous hearing date where, as here, the parties do not provide any agreed upon alternative dates.

that the parties have not conferred regarding a mutually suitable alternative date.2 Defendant Trans

Union LLC's motion to dismiss plaintiffs' First Amended Complaint is currently noticed and set for

October 6, 2006. 

The court hereby sets the new hearing date for defendants Home Depot, Sears, Fair Isaac,

Macy's, Lowe's, and Discover's motions to dismiss for October 6, 2006. The court assumes that the

October 6, 2006 motion hearing date has been cleared at least as to plaintiffs (and Trans Union). 

The court will not continue the motion hearing date again absent a mutually agreed upon date by the

parties.
