ORDER DENYING PLAINTIFFS’

APPLICATION FOR ORDER

SHORTENING TIME, AND

BRIEFING ORDER

Having considered plaintiffs’ September 13 application

for an order shortening time to hear its motion to compel

discovery [Docket No. 149], oppositions by defendant and

third-party Steven J. Vallen, and plaintiffs’ reply, I see no

need for argument or further briefing. Plaintiffs have failed

to identify a “substantial harm or prejudice that would occur”

without the requested modification. See Civil Local Rule 6-

3(a)(3). I agree with defendant and third-party Vallen that

the schedule proposed by plaintiffs would create undue burden

and potentially prejudice their ability to defend against the

motion. Therefore, plaintiff’s application to shorten time is

DENIED. However, in light of plaintiffs’ counsel’s

unavailability for much of October, IT IS FURTHER ORDERED as

follows:

1. Oppositions to plaintiff’s September 13 motion to

compel discovery will be filed by Thursday, September 27,

2007;

2. Any reply will be filed by noon on Tuesday, October 2,

2007;

3. If the Court concludes that a hearing on the motion is

necessary, it will be heard as noticed on Wednesday, October

31, 2007 at 10:00 a.m. in Courtroom G, 15th Floor, Federal

Building, 450 Golden Gate Avenue, San Francisco, California

94102.
