IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE 

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

Plaintiff,

v.

ERSUL O. SANDERS, JR.,

Defendant.

1:05-CV-01110-OWW/SMS

MOTION FOR CONTINUANCE OF

HEARING ON PLAINTIFF'S REQUEST

FOR DEFAULT JUDGMENT AND ORDER

THEREON 

DATE: 3/17/06

TIME: 9:30 A.M.

COURTROOM: Courtroom #7

 

Plaintiff United States of America requests that the hearing

on its Request for Entry of Default Judgment against defendant

Ersul Sanders be continued for a period of approximately 60 days. 

The hearing is currently scheduled for March 17, 2006, before

Magistrate Judge Snyder.

As stated in the Plaintiff's first request for a continuance

filed on January 23, 2006, in early January undersigned counsel was

contacted by Frank Mohan, an attorney in Stockton, California, who

represents defendant. Mr. Mohan advised undersigned counsel that

defendant may be interested in settling this action.

Defendant, through his counsel Frank Mohan, has provided

limited financial information to undersigned counsel. After

reviewing the material, undersigned counsel advised Mr. Mohan that

she needs additional information (such as tax returns, proof of

current living expenses, etc.) before she can properly evaluate his

settlement proposal. Accordingly, granting the plaintiff's request

for a continuance would give the parties time to explore settlement

options.

For scheduling purposes, undersigned counsel advises the court

that she is unavailable the week of May 15, 2006, and requests that

the hearing on plaintiff's motion not be scheduled during this

week. 

Respectfuly submitted,
