October 23, 2019 Opinion or Order Filing 28 MINUTE ORDER (TEXT ENTRY ONLY) On 10/18/19, Defendants filed a request to extend time to respond to the complaint, indicating that the parties are engaged in active settlement discussions. #24 Because the request was not signed by all parties, it does not constitute a stipulation that would operate automatically to extend the deadline pursuant to Local Rule 144(a). Nonetheless, because the request is the first, was filed before the relevant deadline, presents good cause, and is unopposed, the request is GRANTED. The deadline for Defendant to respond to complaint is extended to November 15, 2019 signed by Chief Judge Lawrence J. O'Neill on October 23, 2019. (Munoz, I)

October 9, 2019 Opinion or Order Filing 23 MINUTE ORDER: (TEXT ENTRY ONLY) The Court's October 7, 2019 Order #22 did not address Plaintiffs' pending request for expedited discovery and trial because all such scheduling matters are referred by Local Rule 302 to the assigned magistrate judge.

October 3, 2019 Opinion or Order Filing 11 MINUTE ORDER: (TEXT ENTRY ONLY) Plaintiffs are instructed to serve immediately the Minute Order entered earlier this afternoon on Defendants in the same manner(s) used to serve notice of the TRO Motion signed by Chief Judge Lawrence J. O'Neill on October 3, 2019. See ECF No. [8-5]. (Munoz, I)
October 3, 2019 Opinion or Order Filing 10 MINUTE ORDER: (TEXT ENTRY ONLY) The Court has received and reviewed Plaintiffs' motion for a temporary restraining order ("TRO Motion") #8 . Although such relief is reserved for extraordinary circumstances, the Court believes Plaintiffs' papers make prima facie showings that (1) Defendants improperly and unlawfully are preventing Plaintiffs from accessing Plaintiffs' own equipment, which is presently located at a facility managed by Defendants in Arvin, California; and (2) that this is likely to irreparably harm Plaintiffs' ability to pursue unique and time-sensitive market opportunities that may not present themselves again. Accordingly, Defendants shall file a response to the TRO Motion on or before 10:00 am TOMORROW, Friday, October 4, 2019. In particular, Defendants shall explain why Plaintiffs have been refused entry to the Arvin facility to retrieve the equipment. In light of this Court's extraordinarily busy schedule, the parties are encouraged to meet and confer in an attempt to reach a stipulation to resolve this matter on a more measured schedule signed by Chief Judge Lawrence J. O'Neill on October 3, 2019. (Munoz, I)
