Plaintiff Princeton Developments LLC brought this action for fraud against numerous defendants on September 8, 2011. Dkt. No. 1. Two of the defendants, Brynee Baylor and Baylor & Jackson LLPC, have yet to be served, defendant Syed Ali Abbas has answered the complaint, and default has been entered against the remaining four defendants, Frank Lorenzo, Patrick Lewis, GPH Holdings, LLC, and The Milan Group, Inc. Defendants Frank Lorenzo and The Milan Group have moved to set aside the default, with a hearing set for January 10, 2012. Dkt. No. 28.
In light of the currently pending motion, and the fact that two defendants have yet to be served or appear in this action, the Initial Case Management Conference, currently set for December 6, 2011, has been continued to January 31, 2012 at 1:30 p.m. in Courtroom 2, United States District Court, 280 South First Street, San Jose, California.
The parties are reminded that this civil case has been randomly assigned to a magistrate judge for all purposes including trial. Accordingly, all parties who have not yet done so shall, no later than December 6, 2011, file either (1) a Consent to Proceed before a United States Magistrate Judge or (2) a Declination to Proceed before a Magistrate Judge and Request for Reassignment to a United States District Judge. See N.D. Cal. Civ. R. 73-1. The consent and declination forms are available at the Clerk's Office and may also be obtained from the court's website at http://www.cand.uscourts.gov.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
