SHELLY ROBINSON,

Plaintiff,

v.

J.M. SMUCKER COMPANY,

Defendant.

Case No. 18-cv-04654-HSG 

ORDER DENYING STIPULATION 

FOR CONTINUANCE OF HEARING

Re: Dkt. Nos. 38, 39

On February 13, 2019, the parties filed a stipulation to continue the February 21 hearing on 

Defendant’s motion to dismiss the first amended complaint. See Dkt. Nos. 38 (original 

stipulation), 39 (corrected stipulation), 26 (motion to dismiss). That hearing date has been set 

since November 7, 2018. Dkt. No. 26. Defendant represented that its lead counsel “has an 

unexpected conflict” with the hearing. See Dkt. No. 39 at 2.

Under Civil Local Rule 6-1(b), a “stipulated request . . . which affects a hearing or 

proceeding on the Court’s calendar must be filed no later than 14 days before the scheduled 

event.” And under Local Rule 6-2(a)(1), the stipulation must be accompanied by a declaration 

that “[s]ets forth with particularity the reasons for the request[].”

The parties have not complied with the 14-day rule and have not attached a declaration 

setting forth the reasons for the request. Accordingly, the stipulation to continue the hearing is 

DENIED.

United States District Court

Northern District of California

Should the parties file an amended stipulation to continue the hearing, they must make a 

specific and detailed showing regarding the “unexpected conflict” and explain why it warrants the 

Court moving a hearing that has been scheduled since November. The parties should indicate

whether they are available on February 28, 2019, if the Court finds good cause to continue the 

hearing.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
