continued approximately (60) days to June 24, 2015 (Wednesday) at 10:00 am or the next 

available Wednesday on the Court’s calendar. As described below in the Declaration of Tomas 

E. Margain, good cause exists. Within the last week, Defendants have retained counsel and the 

corporate Defendant was served. Counsel for both parties have spoken, begun the Rule 26 

process and wish time to get the pleadings settled, exchange information and hopefully resolve 

the matter or have the case referred to mediation.

DECLARATION OF TOMAS E. MARGAIN 

I, Tomas E. Margain, declare as follows: 

1. I am an attorney admitted to this Court and Plaintiff’s attorney of record. I base 

this declaration on my personal knowledge unless otherwise indicated. 

2. The Complaint was filed on February 23, 2015 and an initial CMC set for April 

29, 2015 approximately 60 days from filing. 

3. After filing the Complaint, I mailed a letter to Defendants and also put the 

complaint out for service. I did delay service for about 30 days trying to get a response via a 

letter. 

4. On April 20, 2015, I spoke with Mike Dillingham, who I have worked with in the 

past, who is representing Defendants. While there are lots of contested issues, we agreed to my 

seeking to continue the initial CMC, focusing on our Rule 26 obligations and exchanges and 

move towards mediation if we cannot otherwise resolve the matter. Based on the conversation, I 

have also scheduled a meeting with Plaintiff to get authority to make a demand. 

5. I am also informed that my process server did serve the home of one of the 

Defendants who I believe may be the address of the agent for service of the corporation. Having 

said that, Mr. Dillingham agreed to accept service. 

6. Continuing the Initial CMC to June 24, 2015 will allow me to complete the above 

tasks. My hope is that at the very least, we would have agreed to mediation and submitted an 

order as well as having finished our Initial Disclosures before the Initial CMC. 

I declare under penalties of perjury under the laws of the United States that the foregoing 

is true and accurate. Executed on April 23, 2015 in San Jose, California.

MEMORANDUM OF POINTS AND AUTHORITIES 

Pursuant to Civil Local Rule 16-2(d), the Court has the authority to modify the Initial 

Case Management Order upon a motion by a party seeking relief from such an order. Here, 

counsel have met and conferred about the continuance. Also, good cause exists. A continuance 

will allow the pleadings to be settled and counsel to have complied with ADR and Rule 26 

obligations. Moreover, the time will allow the parties to explore a settlement.
