IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

THE HOUSEHOLDER GROUP, LLLP

Plaintiff,

 v.

RANDY S. FUSS,

Defendant. /

No. C 07-0573 SI

ORDER DENYING DEFENDANT’S

MOTION TO COMPEL ARBITRATION

On March 29, 2007, defendant filed a reply brief stating that he wishes to withdraw the pending

motion to compel arbitration because defendant has confirmed that plaintiff is not a member of the

National Association of Securities Dealers. In light of defendant’s March 29, 2007 filing, the Court

DENIES defendant’s motion to compel arbitration. (Docket No. 4). The April 6, 2007 hearing is

VACATED.

Defendant also requests 20 days to file a response to the complaint. Plaintiff opposes the

request, arguing that defendant has had ample time to prepare a responsive pleading, and asserting that

if defendant’s request is granted, it will likely require modification of the April 13, 2007 deadline to

meet and confer over initial disclosures, discovery, ADR, and settlement. The Court agrees with

plaintiff that defendant has not demonstrated good cause for the request; indeed, defendant does not

articulate any reason why he needs an additional 20 days to prepare a response. Accordingly, defendant

must file and serve a response to the complaint no later than April 9, 2007.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: April 3, 2007 SUSAN ILLSTON
