This action arises under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 

(“ERISA”), as amended by the Multiemployer Pension Plan Amendments Act of 1980 (29 U.S.C 

§§1001-1461 (1982)), to recover withdrawal liability amounts allegedly owed by defendant 

Washington Township Central Chevrolet Co., d/b/a Central Collision Center, and DOES 1-20 

(“Defendants”) to Plaintiffs Automotive Industries Pension Trust Fund and its Trustees 

(“Plaintiffs”), and to enforce the Trust Fund’s request for information under ERISA §4219(a) 

On December 19, 2014, the Plaintiffs filed a Complaint in this matter. 

On December 22, 2014, the Court entered its Order Setting Initial Case Management 

Conference and ADR Deadlines (Dkt. #5), setting the Initial Case Management Conference for 

March 24, 2015. 

The Defendants have been served in the action as follows: Washington Township 

Central Chevrolet dba Central Collision Center was served on January 21, 2015 (Dkt. #8). 

On February 6, 2015, the parties stipulated to a 30-day extension to March 13, 2015 for 

Defendants to respond to the Complaint (Dkt. #9). 

The reason for the request is that the Defendants are in the process of reviewing and 

producing voluminous documents to Plaintiffs that may affect the scope of the action and the 

prospects for settlement, and it would promote efficiency in the handling of the case to permit the 

parties to review the documents before discussing early settlement, the scope of the pleadings and 

issues, making initial disclosures, planning discovery and conferring about the scheduling of the 

case. 

Therefore, the parties respectfully request that the Initial Case Management Conference 

currently scheduled for March 24, 2015 be continued for 60 days. 

No previous requests to change these dates have been submitted. The changes will not 

affect any other deadline on the Court’s calendar. 

The parties also stipulate that, if the Court approves the requested continuance, 

Defendants’ time to respond to the Complaint is extended by an additional 30 days, to April 13, 

2015.
