Counsel for plaintiffs ALAN J. WATSON; CASH FLOW FINANCIAL, LLC, a 

Michigan limited liability company; GALVESTON MATRIX DIVERSIFIED TRUST, an 

Ohio business trust; and DAVID F. KLIMA, individually and in his capacity as Trustee of 

Galveston Matrix Diversified Trust, and counsel for defendants SOLDADO CORPORATION, a California corporation (Soldado) and GABRIEL GONZALEZ, JR. (Gonzalez), hereby stipulate and agree, and jointly apply to the Court for an order approving their stipulation, that the Initial Case Management Conference now scheduled for August 25, 2010 be 

postponed for 45 days, and that the other deadlines set forth in the Court’s July 13, 2010 order continuing the Initial Case Management Conference be postponed in relation to the new 

Initial Case Management Conference date to be set by the Court. As grounds for this stipulation and joint application for a continuance, the parties (as indicated) state the following: 

1. The stipulating parties earlier applied once for a continuance of the initial 

CMC, which request was granted July 13, 2010. No party otherwise has applied for any extension of time on any subject. 

2. The stipulating parties have filed consent to the assignment of this action to 

Magistrate Judge Edward M. Chen for all purposes, and wish to proceed before him. Defendants Brian J. Engel and BJE, Inc. (in the form of a letter to 

the Court that is in the answer of an answer dated July 30, 2010), and defendants JC Funding Solutions, Inc. and Jose Israel Castillo Robles (in the form 

of a letter to the Court dated August 2, 2010 requesting additional time to respond to the complaint) have not as of yet consented to the assignment of this 

action to Judge Chen for all purposes. The stipulating parties seek additional

time before the scheduled initial CMC so that these newly-appearing defendants may have time to respond to inquiries/initiatives from the Court seeking 

their consent to appear before Judge Chen so that this case need not be transferred to an already-confirmed Article III Judge. 

3. The parties have not yet been able to confer effectively regarding initial disclosures, early settlement, and discovery plans, or to submit a meaningful F. R. 

Civ. P. 26(f) Report because some defendants have not yet responded fully to 

the complaint. 

4. Because of the recent appearances of some defendants, it has not been possible to assess with any reasonable accuracy many of the issues that must be addressed in the parties’ JOINT CASE MANAGEMENT STATEMENT, including: potential motions; claims and defenses to be asserted by entering defendants; 

discovery planning and identification of issues that may require adjudication; 

and scheduling of pre-trail activities. 

5. Defendants Soldado and Gonzalez have provided some informal discovery to 

plaintiffs, and have indicated that more such informal discovery may be forthcoming, but the parties (both those already appearing and, presumably, those 

who have been served but not yet entered appearances) need additional time in 

which to prepare initial disclosures and prepare a proper discovery plan. 

WHEREFORE plaintiffs and defendants Soldado Corporation and Gabriel Gonzalez, 

Jr. request a postponement of the currently scheduled Initial Case Management Conference
