Case No. 3:12-cv-02506-LB STIPULATED REQUEST FOR ORDER CHANGING DATE OF CASE MANAGEMENT CONFERENCE ORDER U.S. BANK, N.A. and American Security Insurance Company, 23 [CIVIL L.R. 6-2 AND 16-2(E)] Defendants. 24 25 26 27 28 STIPULATED REQUEST FOR ORDER CHANGING DATE OF CASE MGT. CONFERENCE CASE NO. 3:12-cv-02506-LB 1 Pursuant to Local Rules 6-2 and 16-2(e), Plaintiff Stephen Ellsworth (“Plaintiff”), on 2 behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, and Defendants U.S. Bank, National 3 Association (“U.S. Bank”), and American Security Insurance Company (“ASIC”) through their 4 undersigned counsel, respectfully request that the Court adjust the date of the upcoming Case 5 Management Conference (“CMC”), which is currently scheduled for September 20, 2012 at 10:30 6 a.m. 7 Plaintiff suggests that the CMC be rescheduled to September 19, 2012 at 10:30 a.m. (the 8 same time as the hearing on U.S. Bank’s pending motion to compel arbitration). The Court has 9 already changed the hearing date on U.S. Bank’s motion to compel arbitration from September 20 10 to September 19 in order to allow counsel for all parties to appear before the MDL Panel on 11 September 20, 2012 in connection with a pending motion to transfer this action and other actions 12 to a proposed MDL proceeding. See ECF No.48. Plaintiff believes that it would be most 13 efficient to move the CMC to the same date as the motion to compel hearing, and will allow 14 counsel for all parties to attend both the proceedings before this Court and the hearing before the 15 MDL Panel. 16 Defendants do not believe that it would be productive, or a good use of the Court’s time, 17 to conduct a CMC at this time. U.S. Bank has moved to compel arbitration, and ASIC intends to 18 move to dismiss the complaint on August 31, 2012. Defendants suggest deferring the CMC until 19 each of these issues has been resolved. However, in the event that the Court decides to schedule 20 the CMC before the motions to compel and to dismiss are decided, Defendants are available on 21 September 19, 2012 at 10:30 a.m., provided that some of their counsel may appear telephonically. 22 Defendants do not object to moving the hearing date from the current date (September 20, 2012) 23 in light of the pending MDL motion. 24 25 26 27 28 STIPULATED REQUEST FOR ORDER CHANGING DATE OF CASE MGT.
