Civil No.08cv958-WQH(NLS)

ORDER RE: JOINT MOTION TO

CONTINUE ENE CONFERENCE; 

[Doc. No. 12]

VACATING EARLY NEUTRAL

EVALUATION CONFERENCE,

SETTING RULE 26 COMPLIANCE,

AND NOTICE OF TELEPHONIC CASE

MANAGEMENT CONFERENCE

Before the Court in the above-captioned matter is a joint request by the parties to continue the

Early Neutral Evaluation Conference (“ENE”) currently scheduled for October 1, 2008 at 2:00 p.m.

[Doc. No. 12]. The parties base their request on the current procedural posture of the case; two of the

five individually named defendants have filed a motion to dismiss Plaintiff’s case against them,

currently pending before the presiding District Judge [Doc. No. 4]. Counsel also cite conflicting trial

schedules and travel as reasons for their unavailability on the date of the ENE and certain dates

thereafter. The Court notes that the ENE has been continued once already, and therefore the time period

provided by the Local Civil Rules for holding an ENE within 45 days of the filing of an answer has long

since expired.
