United States District Court

Northern District of California

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

RANDY STEVENS, et al.,

Plaintiffs,

v.

JIFFY LUBE INTERNATIONAL, INC.,

Defendant.

Case No. 15-cv-01511-HSG 

ORDER VACATING HEARING AND 

CASE MANAGEMENT CONFERENCE

The Court has reviewed the letter briefs separately filed by the parties on June 11, 2015. 

Plaintiffs’ counsel states that he is unable to attend the hearing on Defendant’s motion to compel 

arbitration scheduled for today, June 11, 2015, due to a medical emergency. The Court takes this 

very serious representation at face value, and thus vacates the hearing. The Court further orders 

the parties to meet and confer to agree on a new hearing date. The parties shall file a stipulation 

regarding the new agreed-upon hearing date by June 17, 2015. At the hearing, Plaintiffs’ counsel 

should be prepared to personally explain to the Court the circumstances requiring the continuance.

The Court also vacates the case management conference currently set for July 14, 2015. If 

necessary, the Court will reset the case management conference after the pending motion to 

compel arbitration is resolved.

Going forward, the Court expects the parties to resolve issues like this one by meeting and 

conferring, without involving the Court. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: June 11, 2015
