UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

CESCA THERAPEUTICS INC.,

Plaintiff,

v.

SYNGEN, INC.; PHC MEDICAL, 

INC.; PHILIP COELHO; and DOES 

1-10, inclusive,

Defendants.

No. 2:14-cv-02085-GEB-KJN

ORDER DENYING DEFENDANTS’ EX 

PARTE APPLICATION TO SHORTEN 

TIME

On October 13, 2015, Defendants filed an ex parte 

application for an order shortening time (“OST”) seeking “to 

expedite the briefing and hearing schedule” on their motion to 

stay pending appeal of the October 8, 2015 order denying 

Defendants’ motion to compel arbitration. (Defs.’ Appl. OST 1:2-

5, ECF No. 50.)

Defendants have not “show[n] a satisfactory explanation 

for the need for the issuance of such an order.” E.D. Cal. R. 

144(e). Absent a sufficient showing concerning “the circumstances 

claimed to justify the issuance of an order shortening time,” the 

prescribed manner for handling law and motion should not be 

disregarded. Id. Further, Defendants have not provided “a 

satisfactory explanation [concerning] . . . the[ir] failure . . .

to obtain a stipulation for the issuance of such an order.” Id.
