Court for the Northern District of California, noticing the motion

for hearing on January 25, 2006. The then-assigned Magistrate Judge

issued minute orders on January 23, 2006 and February 6, 2006,

vacating the noticed hearings on both motions and submitting them for

decision without oral argument.

In light of the recent reassignment of this matter to the

undersigned and considering the age of this case and that of the

briefing submitted in connection with those motions, the court finds

that at the very least oral argument on the motions may assist the

court. Moreover, given the passage of time, it may be possible that

the parties positions or arguments may have changed.

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. Defendants’ motion for summary judgment (Doc. no. 11)

and plaintiff’s motion to transfer (Doc. no. 24) are denied without

prejudice to being re-noticed for hearing.

2. The parties are directed to re-notice defendants’

motion for summary judgment and plaintiff’s motion to transfer for

hearing on October 27, 2006, at 10:00 a.m., in Courtroom 27 before

the undersigned magistrate judge.

3. Any supplemental briefing in support of the motions by

the moving party shall be filed on or before October 13, 2006. Any

supplemental opposition to either motion shall be filed on or before

October 20, 2006. The parties need not repeat any arguments already

filed with the court and are not required to file supplemental briefs

if they are relying on the arguments previously presented.
