IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

HOWARD B. HIGGINS,

Plaintiff,

 v.

FARR FINANCIAL INC., ET AL,

Defendants. /

No. C 07-02200 JSW

ORDER CONTINUING HEARING

Before plaintiff Howard B. Higgins (“Higgins”) retained counsel, he filed an opposition

to defendant Farr Financial, Inc.’s (“Farr Financial”) motion to dismiss. The hearing on Farr

Financial’s motion is currently set to be heard on January 18, 2008. On January 10, 2008, the

Court granted a pro hac vice application by Norman G. Reece, Jr. to represent Higgins in the

above-captioned matter. In order to give Higgins an opportunity to have his counsel file an

opposition or a statement of non-opposition to the motion, the Court HEREBY CONTINUES

the hearing to February 29, 2008 at 9:00 a.m. Higgins shall file an amended opposition or

statement of non-opposition by no later than February 8, 2008. Farr Financial shall file an

amended reply by February 15, 2008.

If the Court determines that the matter is suitable for resolution without oral argument, it

will so advise the parties in advance of the hearing date. If the parties wish to modify this 

schedule, they may submit for the Court’s consideration a stipulation and proposed order

demonstrating good cause for any modification requested.
