IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

GIOVANI DEPIANTI, et al.,

Plaintiffs,

 v.

JAN-PRO FRANCHISING

INTERNATIONAL, INC,

Defendant. /

No. C 16-05961 WHA

ORDER DENYING

REQUEST TO CONTINUE

CASE MANAGEMENT

CONFERENCE AND

DENYING REQUEST TO

ATTEND HEARING BY

TELEPHONE

In this action which has been transferred here from the District of Massachusetts, the

parties seek to continue the case management conference scheduled for January 19. The parties

completed summary judgment motions more than six years ago in Massachusetts and seek to

re-brief the motions to account for developments in the law since then and developments in the

case (including eliminating discussion of and evidence involving eight plaintiffs who are no

longer in the case). They further seek to conform the briefs to the local rules. The parties also

seek to conduct their briefs over an extended period of four months, but they do not explain

why merely re-working briefs that have already been completed cannot be done on the normal

35-day track (or a 42-day track, including the proposed surreply).

The request to continue the case management conference is DENIED. The conference on

January 19 will address, inter alia, the schedule for briefing the summary judgment motions. 

Additionally, the courtroom telephone system is not conducive to conducting hearings thereon,

so the request to appear by telephone is also DENIED.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
