IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

FRIENDS OF HOPE VALLEY, a 

California public benefit corporation,

Plaintiff, No. 2:09-cv-02866 JAM KJN

DRESSLER COMPANY, a/k/a FRED H.

DRESSLER COMPANY, a Nevada

Defendant’s motion to compel the production of documents is presently set to be

heard on the undersigned’s July 8, 2010 law and motion calendar, and the parties have been

defendant’s motion to compel and the deadline for submission of the parties’ Joint Statement. 

However, the undersigned will not approve the parties’ stipulated request to alter the dates in the

court’s Status (Pretrial Scheduling) Order, but the parties may seek such alteration by the United

States District Judge before whom this matter proceeds. First, the parties’ request is more

appropriately presented to the District Judge who entered the Status (Pretrial Scheduling) Order. 

Second, were the court to continue the discovery completion deadline to September 13, 2010, the

court would be required to alter, at a minimum, the law and motion cutoff date stated in the

Status (Pretrial Scheduling) Order, and potentially the remaining dates set therein. The parties

have not stipulated to the alteration of those remaining dates, and the undersigned will not alter

one deadline in the Status (Pretrial Scheduling) Order without consideration of the other dates set

therein. 

Pursuant to the parties’ stipulation, and for the foregoing reasons, IT IS HEREBY

ORDERED that:

1. The hearing on defendant’s motion to compel (Dkt. No. 14) is continued

to Thursday, July 15, 2010, at 10:00 a.m., before the undersigned.

2. The parties shall file their Joint Statement re Discovery Disagreement with

the court on or before July 1, 2010.

3. The parties’ stipulation to continue the deadline to complete discovery is

not approved, but the parties may request alteration of the dates set in the Status (Pretrial

Scheduling) Order from the district judge before whom this matter proceeds, United States

District Judge Mendez.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

DATED: June 23, 2010
