Pursuant to Civil L. R. 6-2, Plaintiff Dane Smith and Defendant VMware, Inc. 

(collectively, the “Parties”) in the above captioned litigation respectfully request that the Court 

change the date of both the hearing on Defendant’s Motion to Compel Arbitration (ECF No. 76) 

and the Case Management Conference scheduled in this matter (see ECF No. 71). 

On August 24, 2015, this case was reassigned to this Court. See ECF No. 65. On 

September 2, 2015, the Court issued a Clerk’s Notice on Reassignment scheduling the Initial Case 

Management Conference for November 23, 2015, and directing the parties to file their initial case 

management statement on or before November 16, 2015. See ECF 71. Counsel for Defendant is 

unavailable on November 23, 2015 due to a conflict with a previously scheduled matter that date. 

On October 2, 2015, Defendant filed a Motion to Compel Arbitration in this matter, and set 

the hearing for November 16, 2015. Counsel for Plaintiff will be travelling out of the state and is 

unavailable that date. 

Accordingly, the Parties therefore respectfully request that the Court enter an order setting 

VMware’s Motion to Compel Arbitration for hearing on December 21, 2015 at 10:00 a.m. The 

parties are available to have the initial case management conference conducted at the same time, if 

the Court determines that is appropriate. Alternatively, the parties are available to discuss the 

scheduling of a new CMC date at the hearing or upon the Court’s ruling on the Motion to Compel. 

The Parties agree to file a joint case management statement at least seven days prior to the CMC 

date set by the Court. 

IT IS SO STIPULATED.
