1 1. Plaintiff’s Complaint was filed on October 11, 2007. At that time, the Court issued

2 its “ORDER SETTING INITIAL CASE MANAGEMENT CONFERENCE AND ADR

3 DEADLINES” (the “Order”) setting dates for: (a) the filing of Joint ADR Certification

4 with Stipulation to ADR Process or Notice of Need for ADR Phone conference (Feb. 11,

5 2008), (b) the filing of Rule 26(f) Report, and completion of initial disclosures or

6 statement of objection in Rule 26(f) Report and filing of Case Management Statement

7 (Feb. 25, 2008); and (c) Initial Case Management Conference (Mar. 3, 2008). 

8 Additionally, the parties were given until the date of the filing of the Initial Case

9 Management Conference Statement to accept or decline the appointment of the magistrate

10 judge initially assigned to the case.

11

12 2. Plaintiff has not yet attempted to serve the Complaint and Summons on Plaintiff VF

13 Outdoors for the reason that plaintiff and defendant have been engaged in discussions of a

14 proposal that may lead to a resolution of the dispute underlying this action, without

15 necessity for further proceedings in court. In the interest of furthering these discussions

16 without adding the complication and acrimony of litigation, and to avoid incurring further

17 costs and attorney fees, plaintiff has refrained from advancing the litigation forward until

18 these discussions have concluded in one way or another. See Declaration of Michael L.

19 Harrison submitted herewith.

20

21 3. Plaintiff did not attempt to obtain a stipulation regarding the present Administrative

22 Motion because plaintiff has not yet served defendant and therefore defendant has not yet

23 appeared in this action. 

24

25 WHEREFORE, Plaintiff requests that this Court order:

26 1. That the Initial Case Management Conference of March 3, 2008, and all deadlines set

27 forth therein in the INITIAL CASE MANAGEMENT SETTING be continued by the

Case 3:07-cv-05213-BZ Document 9 Filed 02/26/08 Page 2 of 3

2 2. That the deadline to either accept or decline the appointment of a magistrate judge for

3 all purposes be extended for a minimum of 90 days from the present deadline.

4 Respectfully submitted,
