Opinion
Civil Action No. 06-cv-00923-WDM-BNB.
October 25, 2006
ORDER
This matter is before me on the following motions:
(1) Defendant DIRECTV's Motion for Extension of Time to Respond to Discovery Request [Doc. # 16, filed 10/17/2006] (the " Motion for Extension"); and
(2) Defendant DIRECTV, Inc.'s Motion to Vacate November 7, 2006 Settlement Conference [Doc. # 17, filed 10/19/2006] (the " Motion to Vacate Settlement Conference").
I find that the Motion for Extension establishes good cause for the 15 day extension requested. In addition, under the circumstances described in the Motion to Vacate Settlement Conference, I find that a settlement conference at this time would waste judicial resources and the resources of the parties.
IT IS ORDERED that the Motion for Extension is GRANTED, and the defendant shall have to and including November 2, 2006, within which to respond to Plaintiff's First Set of Discovery Requests.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Motion to Vacate Settlement Conference is GRANTED, and the settlement conference set for November 7, 2006, at 1:30 p.m., is VACATED. A new settlement conference will be set on request, following consultation by the parties and certification by their counsel that a conference would be useful in attempting to resolve the case.
