ORDER CONTINUING HEARING ON

DEFENDANTS’ MOTION FOR

SANCTIONS; VACATING HEARING ON

DEFENDANTS’ MOTION TO DISMISS

Before the Court is plaintiffs’ Motion for Administrative Relief to Continue Hearings,

filed March 9, 2010, by which plaintiffs seek to continue the April 2, 2010 hearing on 

defendants’ motion for sanctions and defendants’ motion to dismiss. Defendants have filed

opposition thereto. Having read and considered the papers filed in support of and in

opposition to the administrative motion, the Court rules as follows.

The grounds on which plaintiffs rely are no longer applicable, in light of the March 9,

2010 order issued by Magistrate Judge James Larson. (See Order Denying Ex Parte

Application for an Order Shortening Time, Declining to Consider Motion to Compel

Disclosure.) Given the proximity of the date of such ruling to the date opposition to the

motion for sanctions is due, however, and given the number of other cases in which

motions currently are scheduled for hearing on April 2, 2010, the Court hereby
