PLAINTIFF'S EX PARTE APPLICATION FOR AN ORDER CONTINUING INITIAL SCHEDULING CONFERENCE; AND ORDER
TO THE HONORABLE LAWRENCE K. KARLTON, THE DEFENDANT/S AND THEIR ATTORNEY/S OF RECORD:
Plaintiff J & J Sports Productions, Inc., hereby applies ex parte for an order continuing the Initial Scheduling Conference presently set for Tuesday, February 19, 2013 at 10:00 AM. As set forth below Plaintiff respectfully requests that the Court continue the Initial Scheduling Conference to a new date approximately Thirty (30) to Forty-Five (45) days forward.
The request for the brief continuance is necessitated by the fact that Plaintiff has not yet perfected service of the initiating suit papers upon the Defendant Rosa Maria Ceballos, individually and d/b/a El Tahur Sports Bar a/k/a Sports Bar El Tahur. As a result, Plaintiff's counsel has not conferred with the defendant concerning the claims, discovery, settlement, ADR or any of the other pertinent issues involving the case itself or the preparation of a Initial Scheduling Conference Statement.
Plaintiff recently identified an alternative address that it believes will be successful to serve its initiating suit papers, upon the Defendant.
WHEREFORE, Plaintiff respectfully requests that this Honorable Court continue the Initial Scheduling Conference, presently scheduled for Tuesday, February 19, 2013 at 10:00 AM.
Respectfully submitted,
