FOR NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

YUN-GUI CAI, 

 Plaintiff, 

 vs. 

FISHI CAFÉ INC., ET AL 

 Defendants 

Case No.: C05-03175 EDL

INITIAL CASE MANAGEMENT 

CONFERENCE & [PROPOSED] ORDER 

Plaintiff Yun-Gui Cai, through his counsel, hereby moves this Court ex parte to continue 

the Initial Case Management Conference as follows: 

1. Plaintiff filed the Complaint on August 4, 2005. 

2. On November 8, 2005, defendants were served with the Summons and Complaint. 

3. Defendants have not filed any responsive pleading or any motion in response to 

the Complaint. 

4. On or about January 26, 2006, plaintiff’s counsel and defendants’ counsel Mr. 

Michael Gong entered into a stipulation to continue the Initial Case Management Conference 

then schedule on January 31, 2006, to allow Mr. Gong to file a Motion to Withdraw as Attorney 

of Record, because, Mr. Gong reported in the stipulation that, defendants have instructed Mr. 

Gong no to take any further actions in this case.

5. On March 2, 2006, Mr. Gong filed a substitution whereby the individual 

defendant Ying Tsai Lin substituted in as pro per litigant, and Mr. Gong was relieved as attorney 

of record for Mr. Lin. This Court approved this substitution in its order dated March 6, 2006. 

No substitution has been filed with respect to corporate defendant Fishi Café Inc. 

6. Based on subsequent communications with Mr. Gong, it is clear that defendants 

have no intention to answer to the Summons and Complaint. It was also revealed that Defendant 

Fishi Café Inc. would be “wound up.” According to information obtained by Plaintiff, an entity 

called AA Café is currently operating on the premises of Fishi Café Inc., conducting the same 

business as Fishi Café Inc. A search of the California Secretary of State’s website revealed that 

AA Café was incorporated on January 12, 2006. 

7. In the Complaint, in addition to Fishi Café Inc., and Ying Tasi Lin, plaintiff also 

sued doe defendants who are the real owners in interest of the corporate defendant Fishi Café Inc. 

According to the information, the real owner of the business is very wealthy business person. 

The predecessor of the Fishi Café Inc. was sued previously before the California Labor 

Commissioner, and since then, Fishi Café Inc. was incorporated, and real owner of the business 

had since removed her name from corporate documents and instead used the names of her 

relatives who have less assets. According to information and belief, Ying Tsai Lin is the father 

of the real owner of the business. 

8. Unfortunately, plaintiff is not aware of the official name and official identity of 

the real owner of the business. 

9. In light of the apparent efforts of avoiding liabilities by hiding assets and 

concealing the identity of the real owner of business, plaintiff has been trying to locate the 

identity of the real owner of the business, and will amend the Complaint by adding all defendants 

who are liable.

10. Meanwhile, plaintiff requests that the Initial Case Management Conference 

currently schedule on April 4, 2006 be continued for 3 months until July 10, 2006 to allow 

sufficient investigation by plaintiff.

laws of the United State that the foregoing is true and accurate.
