1. Plaintiffs filed their complaint on March 2, 2015, and the case was assigned to the 

Honorable Elizabeth D. Laporte, Magistrate Judge. (Docket No. 1). 

2. On March 3, 2015, Judge Laporte issued her Order Setting Initial Case 

Management Conference and ADR Deadlines, setting the initial case management conference for 

June 2, 2015. (Docket No. 6).

3. Defendant Gateway Frontline Services, Inc., dba Gateway Group One, filed its 

answer to the complaint on May 8, 2014. (Docket No. 13).

4. Pursuant to the ADR Deadlines set by Judge Laporte, the parties filed their 

stipulation selecting mediation on May 12, 2015. Docket No. 17. Judge Laporte issued an order 

referring the case to mediation, to be completed within 120 days. (Docket No. 18).

5. Defendant filed a Declination to Magistrate Judge Jurisdiction. (Docket No. 19). 

On May 27, 2015, the Clerk gave notice of impending reassignment of the case. The case was 

reassigned to The Honorable William H. Orrick on May 28, 2015, by a Reassignment Order that 

vacated all previously scheduled dates (Docket No. 21), and on May 29, 2015, this Court issued a 

Case Management Conference Order scheduling the initial Case Management Conference for 

June 9, 2015.

6. This request is made in order for the parties to have sufficient opportunity to 

attempt to resolve this matter by mediation before incurring the expense, and using the Court’s 

resources, in proceeding with the Initial Case Management Conference. 

7. The following previous time modification occurred in this case: All initial hearing 

dates were vacated by the Reassignment Order (Docket No. 21).

8. Based on the foregoing, the parties respectfully request that this Court continue the 

Case Management Conference and related deadlines for approximately 120 days to October 6, 

2015, at 2:00 p.m., or such other date thereafter that is convenient to the Court. The effect of this 

requested time modification would extend the date of the initial Case Management Conference 

and related deadlines.
