ORDER 

 COMES NOW COUNSEL FOR SCHENKER, INC. (“Schenker” or “plaintiff”) and 

hereby requests this Court Order a continuation of the Case Management Conference (and 

associated dates) at least 90 days / three months, i.e. from 15 March 2010 until 14 June 2010, or 

as soon thereafter as is convenient for the Court, in order to, inter alia, permit the parties to 

further execute a settlement agreement and prepare the case for a conditional dismissal. The 

parties are in the process of executing their settlement agreement.

 Defendants BARRANGO, a California Corporation, and BARRANGO 

MANUFACTURING, a California Corporation (“Barrango”) have been served and have entered 

into a general willingness to settle agreement before filing a responsive pleading. The parties’ 

agreement involves monthly payments, only three of which have been made totaling less than 

20% of the agreed settlement. Barrango again recently represented to plaintiff’s counsel that it is 

continuing to attempt to liquidate some assets and that defendants will satisfy a substantial 

portion of the parties’ settlement agreement hopefully in the next ninety days. Barrango’s efforts 

to liquidate the above described assets reportedly have been complicated by the death of a person 

involved in the transaction, which death triggered additional taxation issues that have 

complicated and prolonged the close of escrow. In the event such execution is not forthcoming 

as promised by Barrango and/or if Barrango does not make satisfactory payments from other 

reserves, plaintiff will diligently seek a default and default judgment against Barrango and 

further prosecute this lawsuit. 

 This is the fourth request for extension of time brought by plaintiff: the first request was 

granted by the Court on 3 June 2009, setting the 14 September 2009 Case Management 

Conference and associated dates (DOC# 12); the second request for extension of time brought by 

plaintiff was granted by the Court on 26 August 2009, setting the 14 December 2009 Case 

Management Conference and associated dates (DOC# 14); the third request for extension of time 

brought by plaintiff was granted by the Court on 8 December 2009, setting the 15 March 2010 

Case Management Conference and associated dates (DOC# 17) . 

 Schenker thus proposes the Case Management schedule be revised as follows: 

 (1) Case Management Conference related dates: 

 [a] the Case Management Conference be continued about 90 days, i.e. from 

 15 March 2010 to 14 June 2010, or as soon thereafter as this 

 matter may be heard; 

 [b] the Joint Case Management Statement due date be continued about 90 

 days, i.e. from 4 March 2010 to 4 June 2010; and
