1. As the Court’s records will reflect, this action was filed on August 14, 2014 to 

compel Defendants to comply with the terms of their Collective Bargaining Agreement.

4. Defendants have failed to pay contributions for hours worked by their employees 

during month of August 2013, and have failed to report and pay contributions for hours worked by 

the employees during the month of February 2014, and during the period from April through

November 2014. Liquidated damages and interest have been incurred and are owing for the unpaid 

contributions for the above months, as well as on other prior late-paid contributions for the months 

of May, July, and December 2013, and January 2014.

5. On November 14, 2014, Plaintiffs requested a continuance to the Case 

Management Conference so that they could make one final attempt to resolve this matter 

informally with Defendants. On November 18, 2014, the Court granted Plaintiffs’ request and the 

Case Management Conference was continued to January 26, 2015. 

6. Plaintiffs have been unable to resolve this matter informally with Defendants. 

Therefore, Plaintiffs will now prepare and file a Motion for Default Judgment against Defendants.

7. There are no issues that need to be addressed by this Court at the currently 

scheduled Case Management Conference. In the interest of conserving costs as well as the Court’s 

time and resources, Plaintiffs respectfully request that the Court continue the currently scheduled 

Case Management Conference for approximately sixty (60) days, to allow for sufficient time for 

Plaintiffs to prepare and file a Motion for Default Judgment against Defendants.
