-4- Case No. 4:09-cv-5442 PJH 

DECLARATION IN SUPPORT OF STIPULATION 

Pursuant to Civil Local Rule 6-2 (a), I hereby declare: 

The parties jointly request that the Case Management Conference be continued from April 1, 

2010 to 30 days following entry of the Court's order on defendant's motion to dismiss or transfer 

because any schedule for discovery or subsequent trial preparation would not be meaningful until 

pleadings are completed. 

The complaint in this action was filed on November 17, 2009. On January 19, 2010, the 

Court set the Case Management Conference for April 1, 2010. The defendant did not waive service 

of process. An officer tendered the complaint to the defendant at her home in Darien, Illinois, a 

suburb of Chicago, on February 11, 2010. On March 4, 2010, the defendant filed her motion to 

dismiss this action or transfer it to the Northern District of Illinois, Eastern Division, pursuant to 

Federal Rules of Civil Procedure Rules 12(b)(2) and (3). The defendant's March 4 motion is 

pending and noticed for hearing on April 28, 2010. The defendant’s motion asserts, inter alia, that 

she has no contacts in the State of California and has not been to California for at least 10 years. The 

defendant’s motion is the only response which has been made to the complaint to date. Issue has not 

been joined in this action and cannot be joined until at least 14 days after this Court’s ruling on the 

motion to dismiss or transfer. 

No other deadlines are currently scheduled in this case.
