Plaintiff, Lisa Nakamura filed this action against Defendant, Pasadena Area Community College District for damages arising out of a fall during a basketball game. The Court granted Defendant leave to file a cross-complaint against Tigers Youth Club for indemnification and related claims; the cross-complaint alleges the parties had a formal agreement pursuant to which Tigers Youth Club was obligated to provide an insurance policy and indemnify the District for any injuries sustained during games.

Plaintiff filed her complaint on 6/03/15, and the matter was originally set for trial on 12/05/16. The trial date has been continued four times, and trial is currently scheduled for 4/24/18.

At this time, Defendant moves to continue the trial date for approximately three months, from 4/24/18 to 7/31/18. Of note, all parties to the action agree to the requested continuance. Defendant establishes that it and cross-defendant, through their insurance companies, have pending coverage litigation in federal court, and expect a resolution of same on 6/28/18. Defendant also establishes that extenuating circumstances have caused delays in discovery in this action.

The Court finds the ongoing federal litigation constitutes “good cause” to grant the motion to continue the trial date, and the motion is granted. The 4/24/18 trial date is advanced to today’s date and continued to Tuesday, 7/31/18 at 8:30 a.m. in D-92. The 4/10/18 FSC is advanced to today’s date and continued to Tuesday, 7/17/18 at 10:00 a.m. in D-92. All discovery cut-off dates are continued to reflect the new trial date.
