ORDER RESETTING

HEARING TO MARCH 1, 2010

 Currently pending before this Court is Defendant’s motion for summary judgment. The

matter is set to be heard on February 16, 2010. The court has determined that it is necessary to

reschedule the hearing on this matter. The Court will reset the hearing to March 1, 2010 at 1:30

p.m.

Additionally, Defendant in reply states that a portion of Dias’s opposition declaration is a

“sham.” Specifically, that Dias’s deposition testimony that Dias believed that Harvey Stein was

the Nationwide agent contradicts Dias’s declaration (Dias declares that he believed Pena was the

Nationwide agent). The Court will give Plaintiff an opportunity to reply to Defendants’

objection.
