ALIPHCOM,

Plaintiff,

 v.

GENERAL ELECTRIC CO., et al.

Defendants. /

No. C-12-6160 MMC

ORDER DENYING PLAINTIFF’S MOTION

FOR RELIEF FROM CASE

MANAGEMENT CONFERENCE ORDER

Before the Court is plaintiff Aliphcom’s “Ex Parte Motion for Relief from Case

Management Conference Order,” filed December 21, 2012. Having read and considered

the motion, the Court rules as follows:

1. To the extent plaintiff seeks an order continuing the Case Management

Conference from March 15, 2013 to June 28, 2013, the motion is hereby DENIED. Said

denial is without prejudice to plaintiff’s seeking a continuance of the Conference in the

event plaintiff is unable to effectuate service of process on defendants prior to March 15,

2013.

2. To the extent plaintiff seeks an order relieving it from serving the Case

Management Conference Order on defendants “at once” (see Mot. at 1:26), the motion is

hereby DENIED, as plaintiff’s request is based on a misinterpretation of the Case

Management Order. Said order does not require unserved parties be served “at once,” but
