No. C-06-0566 MMC

ORDER CONTINUING CASE

MANAGEMENT CONFERENCE

Before the Court is plaintiff’s Case Management Conference Statement, filed May 2,

2006, by which plaintiff seeks to continue the May 12, 2006 case management conference

in the instant action by approximately 120 days. Plaintiff states a continuance is necessary

because she anticipates the instant action will be transferred for inclusion in MDL No. 1596,

In re Zyprexa Products Liability Litigation, and/or MDL No. 1769, In re Seroquel Products

Liability Litigation, and because she has not yet served the defendants. Because the

instant action was filed January 27, 2006, the 120-day deadline for plaintiff to serve

defendants, pursuant to Rule 4(m) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, has not yet

elapsed.
