Attorneys for Plaintiffs 

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

BAY AREA PAINTERS AND TAPERS 

PENSION TRUST FUND, et al., 

 

 Plaintiffs, 

 

 v. 

 

VENTURA FINISHING SYSTEMS, a 

California Corporation, 

 

 Defendant. 

Case No.: C14-03364 - HSG 

REQUEST FOR EXTENSION OF TIME 

TO FILE PLAINTIFFS’ MOTION FOR 

DEFAULT JUDGMENT; ORDER 

THEREON 

Current Deadline: April 15, 2015 

Proposed Deadline: June 11, 2015 

Judge: Hon. Haywood S. Gilliam 

Courtroom: 15 – 18th Floor 

TO THE COURT: 

Plaintiffs Bay Area Painters and Tapers Pension Trust Fund, et al. (“Plaintiffs”), by and 

through their counsel, hereby respectfully request an extension of time by which to file Plaintiffs’ 

Motion for Default Judgment. GOOD CAUSE exists to grant the extension for the following 

reasons: 

1. As the Court records reflect, this matter came on for hearing for a scheduled Case 

Management Conference before the Honorable Haywood S. Gilliam on March 18, 2015 in the 

above-captioned Court. [Dkt. No. 38]. Adrian L. Canzoneri, Esq. appeared on behalf of Plaintiffs. 

Justine Kastan, Esq., former counsel for Defendant, also appeared. There was no appearance by 

Defendant. 

2. At the March 18, 2015 Case Management Conference, the Court ordered Plaintiffs 

to file their Motion for Default Judgment by April 1, 2015. [Id.].

3. On Monday, March 23, 2015, presumably after being advised by its former 

counsel, Defendant contacted Plaintiffs’ counsel to discuss the amounts owed to Plaintiffs, in 

addition to the documents needed by Plaintiffs to complete the audit of Defendant’s payroll 

records. Defendant indicated his willingness to attempt to resolve this matter without the need for 

further litigation. Plaintiffs’ counsel requested that Defendant submit the necessary additional 

documents as soon as possible so that the complete and final amounts owed to Plaintiffs could be 

ascertained. 

4. Defendant has since retained new counsel for the purposes of facilitating potential 

settlement. Defendant’s counsel contacted Plaintiffs’ counsel on April 9, 2015 to discuss potential 

resolution of the matter without the need for further litigation. Defendant’s counsel is in the 

process of obtaining the required documents necessary to complete the audit of Defendant’s 

payroll records. Once those documents are received by Plaintiffs’ counsel, they will submit them 

to Plaintiffs’ auditor to finalize the audit report. 

5. Upon review of the Honorable Judge Gilliam’s law and motion calendar and 

scheduling notes, the first available hearing date for Plaintiffs’ Motion for Default Judgment is 

June 11, 2015. Thus, neither the Court nor the parties to this matter will be significantly affected 

by the requested extension.

6. As Defendant has now retained new counsel to facilitate settlement, and the parties 

are in discussions in an attempt to resolve this matter without the need for further litigation, in the 

interest of judicial economy and efficiency, as well as the preservation of the Court’s time and 

resources, Plaintiffs’ respectfully request that the deadline to file the Motion for Default Judgment, 

currently set for April 15, 2015, be extended approximately sixty (60) days to June 11, 2015. 

I declare under penalty of perjury under the laws of the United States of America that the 

foregoing is true of my own knowledge and if called upon I could and would testify competently 

thereto. 

Executed this 10th day of April 2015, at San Francisco, California. 

/S/

Adrian L. Canzoneri 

IT IS SO ORDERED. 

Based on the foregoing, and GOOD CAUSE APPEARING, the deadline for Plaintiffs to 

file their Motion for Default Judgment shall be extended by approximately sixty (60) days, up to 

and including June 11, 2015. 

Date:
