CASE MANAGEMENT CONFERENCE STATEMENT; ORDER THEREON

8. Pursuant to each Waiver of The Service of Summons, responsive pleadings were due on or 

before March 17, 2015. 

After being advised Defendant Springline, Inc. filed for Ch. 7 Bankruptcy, on March 6, 

2015, Plaintiffs filed a Notice of Ch. 7 Bankruptcy of Defendant Springline, Inc.; [Proposed] 

Order to Stay Action. See Document No. 10. On March 6, 2015 this Court ordered the matter 

stayed as to Defendant Springline, Inc. pending resolution of the bankruptcy proceeding. See 

Document No. 11. 

No responsive pleading has been filed on behalf of Defendant Michael Charles 

Fredenburg. Plaintiffs Laborers Trust Funds intend to proceed in default against Defendant 

Michael Charles Fredenburg. 

Based on the fact that this action is stayed against Defendant Springline, Inc. and 

Plaintiffs Laborers Trust Funds will proceed in default against Defendant Michael Charles 

Fredenburg, Plaintiffs Laborers Trust Funds respectfully request that the case management 

conference be continued for ninety (90) days to allow Plaintiffs Laborers Trust Funds time to 

proceed in default, including a motion for default judgment.
