September 19, 2014 Filing 36 MINUTE entry before the Honorable Edmond E. Chang: Defendant Pinnacle Foods' extension motion 32 to answer or respond is granted to 10/27/2014, over Plantiffs' objection, in light of the length of the complaint. Plaintiffs' motion for "judicial notice" of violation of 15 U.S.C. 1041 34 is denied. It does not appear that there is such a section in the United States Code. The motion also refers to 18 U.S.C. 1512, but that statute defines a criminal offense, and does not provide for relief in a civil case. The substance of the motion otherwise appears to present some service of process or discovery disputes, but neither issue is presented in a way that seeks proper relief, such as a motion to find that service was effectuated. The motion is denied. Emailed and mailed notice (slb, )

September 15, 2014 Filing 29 MINUTE entry before the Honorable Edmond E. Chang: Defendant Hillshire Brands' extension motion 24 to answer or respond to the complaint is granted to 10/27/2014, over Plaintiffs' objection. The extension is warranted in light of the 100+ page complaint (with exhibits), R. 1, and the number of claims asserted. Status hearing of 09/26/2014 is reset to 10/28/2014 at 8:30 a.m., and the joint initial status report is due three business days before the new status hearing. Emailed and mailed notice (slb, )
September 15, 2014 Filing 28 MINUTE entry before the Honorable Edmond E. Chang: Plaintiffs' motions for sanctions [3, 16] are denied. From what can be discerned from the motions, Plaintiffs seek sanctions for filings or positions not taken in this litigation, and Rule 11 sanctions are not available for representations not made to the Court. Fed. R. Civ. P. 11(b). The Court understands that Plaintiffs are pursuing the case pro se and without legal representation, but they are warned that the filing of frivolous sanctions motions can in turn result in the imposition of sanctions on the movants.
