 Re: George Finley v. City of Oakland, et al. _ 

 United States District Court No. C-04-5102-MEJ 

 Our Case File No.: 23872 

Your Honor: 

 

 Defendants' Motion for Summary Judgment was heard and submitted on 

January 19, 20061. The court has yet to issue its decision. We wish to make the Court 

aware that the first pre-trial filings (statements of facts, witness lists, exhibit lists) are 

due to be exchanged between counsel on February 9, 2006. Defendants' attorneys 

intend to start working on these documents by January 30, 2006. If the court's decision 

on the summary judgment motion will not be issued by February 1, 2006, we 

respectfully request that the Court stay and/or continue the pretrial filings dates so that 

the unnecessary incurrence of attorneys' fees can be avoided (assuming the motion is 

ultimately granted). Thank you for your consideration of this matter. 

 

Very truly yours, 

JOHN A. RUSSO 

City Attorney

 We remind the court that this matter was originally set for hearing on December 8, 2005 

 but was moved because the plaintiff failed to timely file an opposition brief.
