ORDER GRANTING MOTION TO CONTINUE AND CONVERTING CALENDAR CALL TO STATUS CONFERENCE
[ECF NO. 101]
On March 24, 2023, Defendant Monarch Construction filed a motion for continuance of trial. (ECF No. 101.) Defense counsel represents that he has been involved in a serious accident which has rendered him incapacitated and unable to proceed with the trial as expected. (Id.) Because this case is already set for trial, the Court ordered expedited briefing on the motion. (ECF No. 102.) In “response” Plaintiff Zap's Electrical filed what is essentially a non-opposition to the motion. (ECF No. 103.)
Good cause appearing, IT IS ORDERED that the motion to continue, (ECF No. 101), is GRANTED, and the Jury Trial scheduled for Monday, May 22, 2023, is hereby VACATED.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Calendar Call currently scheduled for Friday, April 21, 2023, at 9:00 a.m., is converted to a Telephonic Status Conference, wherein the parties shall be prepared to discuss the continuance and potential dates to reschedule trial.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
