Stipulation Extend Hearing Mtn. Remand 2 2:15-cv-2118 JAM - AC

Court re set the hearing on the Motion to Remand to its current date of March 8, 2016, sua sponte. 

Neither plaintiff, nor any other party, requested the extended hearing date. This is the first request 

for a continuance of the hearing on the Motion to Remand by any party in this action. 

4. All briefing on the Motion to Remand has been completed, served and filed with the Court 

and the parties do not anticipate any further filings on the Motion at this point. 

5. Plaintiff=s attorney David Imai and his wife are expecting the birth of their child. The 

expected delivery date is March 8, 2016, the same date as the currently set hearing date on the 

Motion to Remand. 

6. It would be extremely difficult for plaintiff=s attorney to appear at the hearing on the 

Motion to Remand and to also support his wife through the delivery of their child on the same day. 

7. For the reasons stated herein above, the parties agree and stipulate that the hearing on the 

Motion to Remand be continued to March 22, 2016, at 1:30 p.m. in department 6 of this Court.
