December 28, 2018 Filing 24 ATTORNEY Appearance for Plaintiff Endurance American Specialty Insurance Company by John H. Scheid (Scheid, John)
December 28, 2018 Filing 23 MINUTE entry before the Honorable Edmond E. Chang: Defendants' unopposed extension motion #17 to file responsive pleading is granted to 01/11/2019. In the meantime, however, the parties shall confer after the New Year on reducing the briefing on the anticipated competing motion to remand and motion to transfer. In light of the apparent overlap of issues, there should be a way to set a four-brief schedule, rather than two competing motions with six briefs passing in the night. The four briefs would comprise an opening motion, a response/cross-motion, a reply/response, and a reply. A status hearing is set for 01/18/2019 at 9 a.m. But if the parties arrive at a sensible agreed briefing schedule before that date, then they may file an agreed briefing-scheduling motion noticed for presentment for that date and time, and the Court will try to rule on the motion (hopefully adopting the proposed schedule) before the hearing. Mailed notice (cn).
