OAKLAND DIVISION

 Plaintiff, 

 vs. 

STAR GALAXY LOGISTICS, INC., and 

IRVINDER S. DHANDA, 

 Defendants. 

Case No: C 09-5886 SBA 

ORDER SETTING BRIEFING 

SCHEDULE AND CONTINUING 

CASE MANAGEMENT 

CONFERENCE

This matter is the Court’s calendar for a case management conference scheduled for 

May 6, 2010. In the parties’ joint statement, Plaintiff indicates its intention to file a motion for 

summary judgment. However, before the parties and Court invest further time and resources in 

this matter, the Court directs the parties to make a good faith attempt to resolve this dispute 

without the need for additional litigation. In the event the parties are unable to resolve their 

dispute following the settlement conference, Plaintiff shall proceed with the filing of its motion 

for summary judgment. Accordingly, 

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED THAT: 

1. The instant action is REFERRED to Chief Magistrate Maria Elena James or her 

designee for a Mandatory Settlement Conference (MSC) to take place prior to June 30, 2010. 

The assigned Magistrate Judge will notify the parties regarding the date and time of the MSC, 

along with any papers to be submitted in connection with the settlement conference. 

2. If the case does not resolve by June 30, 2010, Plaintiff is directed to file its 

motion for summary judgment by no later than July 13, 2010. 

3. Any opposition to the Plaintiff’s summary judgment motion shall be filed with 

the Court and served on Plaintiff’s counsel by no later than July 27, 2010. Defendant should

be aware that if the Court grants Plaintiff’s motion, the case will be over and that a judgment 

may be entered against him. Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 56 instructs parties what they 

must do in order to oppose a motion for summary judgment. Generally, summary judgment 

must be granted when there is no genuine issue of material fact -- that is, if there is no real 

dispute about any fact that would affect the result of the case, the party moving for summary 

judgment is entitled to judgment as a matter of law, which will end the case. When a party 

presenting a a motion for summary judgment that is properly supported by declarations (or 

other sworn testimony), the defendant cannot simply rely on what his answer alleges. Rather, 

the party opposing a summary judgment motion must set out specific facts in declarations, 

depositions, answers to interrogatories, or authenticated documents, as provided in Rule 56(e), 

that contradict the facts shown in the Plaintiff’s declarations and documents and show that 

there is a genuine issue of material fact for trial. Such evidence may include sworn 

declarations from the defendant and/or other witnesses to the incident, and copies of documents 

authenticated by sworn declaration. If Defendant does not submit his own evidence in 

opposition, summary judgment, if appropriate, may be entered against him, meaning that there 

will be no trial. See Rand v. Rowland, 154 F.3d 952, 962-63 (9th Cir. 1998) (en banc). 

In addition, Defendant is warned that the failure to file an opposition by July 27, 2010 

will be deemed to be a non-opposition to the motion, meaning that the Court may grant 

the motion and terminate the case. 

3. Plaintiff shall file its reply brief by later than August 3, 2010. 

4. The hearing on Plaintiff’s motion for summary judgment shall take place on 

September 14, 2010 at 1:00 p.m. The hearing shall take place in Courtroom 1 of the United 

States District Courthouse, 1301 Clay St., Oakland, California. The Case Management 

Conference previously scheduled for May 6, 2010 is CONTINUED to September 14, 2010, 

and shall follow the hearing on the motion. The Court may decide the motion without a 

hearing. Fed.R.Civ.P 78(b). The parties are advised the check the Court’s website to 

determine whether an appearance on September 14, 2010 is required.
