Sophia Alfallah, et al.,

Plaintiffs,

v.

Carrie Ketchum, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No.: BC611550

Hearing Date: March 9, 2018

[TENTATIVE] order RE:

Plaintiffs’ MOTION TO CONTINUE TRIAL

Plaintiffs Sophia Alfallah, Miriam Alfallah, and Alana Setlin (“Plaintiffs”) seek to continue the final status conference and trial in this action. The FSC is set for April 4, 2018, and trial is set for April 18, 2018. Plaintiffs seek to continue these matters to allow for the conclusion of Plaintiff Setlin’s medical treatment and the completion of discovery. Plaintiff states that Plaintiff Setlin’s injuries have required complex and ongoing orthopedic care which will not be complete by April of 2018. In addition, Defendant Carrie Ketchum suffers from a medical condition which has prevented her from sitting for her deposition. Finally, Plaintiff’s counsel states that he has a scheduling conflict with another case set for trial in Department 98 set for April 17, 2018.

Defendant filed a notice of non-opposition to this motion on February 27, 2018. In addition, Plaintiffs have submitted a stipulation signed by both counsel to continue trial as Exhibit A to counsel’s declaration. This stipulation shows that counsel agree to continue the trial to a date in July 2018 that is convenient for the Court. (Exh. A, at pg. 2.)

Plaintiffs’ request to continue these matters is granted based upon good cause shown. The trial will be continued to July 26, 2018 at 8:30 am, and the FSC will be continued to July 12, 2018 at 10:00 am. All discovery and motion cut off dates will follow the new trial date.

Plaintiffs are ordered to provide notice of this order.
