#3.00Hearing RE: Motion For Stay Pending Resolution Of Arbitration(Motion filed 4/22/20)
6Docket
United States District Court for the Central District of California. Therefore, in-person appearances at hearings are expressly prohibited, and any person who is required to appear at a hearing or who desires to appear at a hearing must appear telephonically through CourtCall. If a tentative ruling states "Appearances not required", this does not mean that appearances are prohibited, but if a person desires to appear, such appearance must be telephonic and cannot be in person.
TELEPHONIC APPEARANCES REQUIRED.
Plaintiffs commenced an adversary proceeding against Debtor and now ask the Court to stay the very same adversary proceeding. Plaintiffs opened the door to the resolution of the underlying claim by commencing this adversary proceeding. Having elected to proceed in this Court, the Court will not permit Plaintiffs to back away from the very controversy that they initiated. The Motion is denied.
However, due to the pandemic, the Court will entertain arguments that any deadline imposed by the Court with respect to conclusion of discovery or the hearing of pretrial motions should be set out more distantly in the future than is customary.
