LAUREE WARD,

Plaintiff,

 v.

ELI LILLY AND COMPANY,

Defendant.

 /

No. C-06-1239 MMC

ORDER CONTINUING CASE

MANAGEMENT CONFERENCE

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

May 16, 2006, by which plaintiff seeks to continue the May 26, 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 because she has not yet

served the defendant. Because the instant action was filed February 21, 2006, the 120-day

deadline for plaintiff to serve defendant, pursuant to Rule 4(m) of the Federal Rules of Civil

Procedure, has not yet elapsed.

Accordingly, for good cause shown,

1. The May 26, 2006 case management conference is hereby continued to

September 29, 2006 at 10:30 a.m. A joint case management statement shall be filed no

later than September 22, 2006. The deadline to serve the defendant, pursuant to
