Civil Action No. C-06-2974 JSW

REQUEST FOR CONTINUANCE OF

CASE MANAGEMENT

CONFERENCE; DECLARATION OF

CINDY O’HARA; [proposed] ORDER 

Plaintiff Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) hereby request that the

case management conference scheduled in the above captionned matter be continued two (2)

weeks, from March 23, 2007 to April 6, 2007. This request is being made by Plaintiff EEOC

and is not opposed by Defendant Bally Total Fitness Corporation. This request is being made

because due to a death in the family of the EEOC Regional Attorney, the Regional Attorney is not

available to give final approval to the terms of the consent decree, which the parties intended to

lodge with the Court prior to the case management conference, as set forth in the accompanying

Declaration of Cindy O’Hara. The requested two week continuance will allow the parties to

finalize and lodge the consent decree.

Dated: March 19, 2007 /S/ Cindy O’Hara 

Attorney for Plaintiff EEOC

REQUEST FOR CONTINUANCE OF CASE MANAGEMENT CONFERENCE; DECLARATION OF CINDY O’HARA;

ORDER Page 2

DECLARATION OF CINDY O’HARA

I, Cindy O’Hara, declare:

1. I am an attorney at law, licensed to practice in California, and an attorney of record

for Plaintiff Equal Employment Opportunities Commission in this matter.

2. The parties continued the case management conference to March 23, 2007 in

anticipation of finalizing and lodging a consent decree resolving this matter prior to that date,

thus obviating the need for a case management conference.

3. The parties have negotiated and resolved virtually all provisions of the consent

decree. 

4. However, before the EEOC can give final approval to the consent decree for filing,

it must be approved by the EEOC’s Regional Attorney. Said Regional Attorney has had a death

in the family, and is presently not available to review the final provisions of the consent decree. 

As the EEOC’s attorney in this matter, I must therefore request an additional two week’s

continuance, from March 23 to April 6, 2007. I fully anticipate that the parties will be able to

finalize and lodge their consent decree with the Court by that date.

5. On March 19, 2007, I spoke with Defendant’s counsel Rod Fliegel and explained

the above situation. Mr. Fliegel told me that Defendant would not oppose this request for

continuance, and that I could so inform the Court.

I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct.

Executed this 19th day of March, 2007, at San Francisco, California.

 /S/ Cindy O’Hara 

ORDER

Having reviewed the request and declaration in support thereof, and good cause

appearing, It is hereby ordered that the March 23, 2007 case management conference is

continued to April 6, 2007. 

It is so ordered.
