February 27, 2022 Opinion or Order Filing 90 Notice of Oral Argument on Thursday, May 12, 2022 - 09:00 A.M. - Courtroom 1 - Scheduled Location: Pasadena CA. The hearing time is the local time zone at the scheduled hearing location. View the Oral Argument Calendar for your case # here . NOTE: Although your case is currently scheduled for oral argument, the panel may decide to submit the case on the briefs instead. See Fed. R. App. P. 34. Absent further order of the court, if the court does determine that oral argument is required in this case, you may have the option to appear in person at the Courthouse or remotely by video. Check # here for updates on the status of reopening as the hearing date approaches. At this time, even when in person hearings resume, an election to appear remotely by video will not require a motion, and any attorney wishing to appear in person must provide proof of vaccination . The court expects and supports the fact that some attorneys and some judges will continue to appear remotely. If the panel determines that it will hold oral argument in your case, the Clerk's Office will contact you directly at least two weeks before the set argument date to review any requirements for in person appearance or to make any necessary arrangements for remote appearance. Please note however that if you do elect to appear remotely, the court strongly prefers video over telephone appearance. Therefore, if you wish to appear remotely by telephone you will need to file a motion requesting permission to do so. Be sure to review the # GUIDELINES for important information about your hearing, including when to be available (30 minutes before the hearing time) and when and how to submit additional citations (filing electronically as far in advance of the hearing as possible). If you are the specific attorney or self-represented party who will be arguing, use the # ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF HEARING NOTICE filing type in CM/ECF no later than 28 days before Thursday, May 12, 2022. No form or other attachment is required. If you will not be arguing, do not file an acknowledgment of hearing notice.[12381039]. [20-56207] (KS) [Entered: 02/27/2022 06:09 AM]

April 27, 2021 Opinion or Order Filing 40 Filed clerk order (Deputy Clerk: LCC): On April 19, 2021, appellees Slaters 50/50 Franchise, LLC, Elias Nakhleh, and Elite Restaurant Group, Inc. (Movants) filed a motion seeking to establish a uniform date for the deadline for response to both of the two opening briefs in this matter (Docket Entry No. [ # 34 ]). Movants then submitted, on April 21, 2021, an answering brief that purports to respond only to the opening brief filed by appellants Kevin Mirch, Marie Mirch, and Mirch Law Firm, LLP. A party or group of jointly represented parties is limited to filing a single principal brief, even when responding to multiple briefs by other parties. 9th Cir. R. 28-5. Movants request to establish a uniform deadline for the answering briefs in this matter was therefore unnecessary. Within 7 days after the date of this order, Movants may file a motion for leave to file a replacement answering brief. If Movants do not file a motion for leave to file a replacement answering brief, the answering brief submitted on April 21, 2021 will serve as their answering brief for this appeal. See 9th Cir.
