Opinion

          GREGORY J. ROCKWELL, ESQ., BOORNAZIAN, JENSEN & GARTHE, A Professional Corporation/File #027461, Oakland, CA, Attorneys for Defendant, COUNTY OF ALAMEDA.

          JOSHUA R. FURMAN, ESQ., JOSHUA R. FURMAN LAW, Attorneys for Plaintiffs.


          STIPULATION TO CONTINUE INITIAL CASE MANAGEMENT CONFERENCE AND ORDER

          CHARLES R. BREYER, District Judge.

         The undersigned, attorneys for the parties herein, hereby stipulate and jointly request that the Court continue the initial case management conference in this matter, currently set for September 19, 2014 to October 31, 2014 or such later date that is convenient to the Court's calendar. Good cause for the continuance exists as stated below.

         The Court's order setting the date for the initial case management conference was issued on June 12, 2014, more than a week before attorney Gregory J. Rockwell was retained to represent defendant COUNTY OF ALAMEDA in this matter.

         Mr. Rockwell first became aware of the date of the conference on August 6, 2014 when he received an e-mail from plaintiff's counsel with a copy of the Court's order, shortly after serving a Notice of Unavailability.

         Mr. Rockwell is scheduled to get married in Hawaii on September 22, 2014, and he has long standing plans to be in Hawaii and out of the office from September 15 through 28.

         Counsel for plaintiffs, whose office is located in Sherman Oaks, California, has a deposition set to commence at 10:00 a.m. on October 10, 2014, and therefore cannot personally attend a case management conference on that date. He will also be out of the country the week of October 13, 2014 and unable to attend a conference scheduled on October 17, 2014.

         According to information posted on the website for the United States District Court for the Northern District of California, District Judge Charles R. Breyer will be unavailable on October 3, 2014, the first Friday after Mr. Rockwell's return, and on October 24, the next date that both attorneys are available. Therefore, the parties respectfully request that the Court continue the initial case management conference in this matter to October 31, 2014, or such later date that is convenient to the Court's calendar.

          ORDER

         GOOD CAUSE appearing therefor, and the parties having so stipulated, the Court hereby GRANTS the request to continue the initial case management conference in this matter to October 31, 2014 at 8:30 a.m. in Courtroom 6, 17th Floor, 450 Golden Gate Avenue, San Francisco, California.

         Lead trial counsel shall meet and confer not less than thirty (30) days in advance of the conference and shall file a joint case management statement in the form contained in the Civil Local rules as supplemented by this order not less than seven (7) days in advance of the conference.

         IT IS SO ORDERED.
