EX PARTE APPLICATION TO CONTINUE SUMMARY JUDGMENT HEARING AND TRIAL DATES
APPLICATION
Defendant Christopher Amir Nosrat hereby applies for an order: (1) continuing the hearing

and (2) continuing the final status conference, trial date and all related pretrial deadlines for at least
60 days or as soon thereafter as the Coun deems appropriate.
\OOONOUIbLNNH
Good cause exists for this application. The opposition to Plaintiff‘s summary judgment
motion is due on October 18, 2023. Defendant recently substituted in pro per due to the fact that his
former attorney, Allan Cate (“Cate”) failed to keep him informed about the case and failed to
propound any discovery since his retention in February 2023. Cate also did not inform Defendant
that the summary judgment motion was filed August 21, 2023, ten days afier it was served, which is
the same day Defendant notified Cate that the attomey-client relationship was terminated. (Nosrat
Dccl., W 5, 6.) During Catc’s representation of Defendant, Defendant was under the impression that
his former counsel did in fact propound such discovery based on Cate's representations to
Defendant. (Nosrat Decl., 1] 3.) Defendant attempted to bring this application last week, but his
counsel did not effectuate the filing properly. (Delman Decl., 11 2.)
Defendant did not become aware of the failure to propound any discovery until Cate
informed Defendant about Plaintiff‘s summary judgment motion on August 21, 2023. (Nosrat Dccl.,
NNNNNNNNNHu—w—np—n—nm—‘p—H 1] 5.) After learning about Cate‘s failure to propound discovery, Defendant understood that he was
WNOMAWN~OOWNOM#WN~O not being appropriately represented and immediately sought to retain another attorney. (Nosrat
Decl., W 5-7.) Defendant wants Dana Delman to represent him, but at this time Ms. Delman is only
able to appear on a limited scope basis for the purpose of seeking continuance of the summary
judgment motion and serving discovery. Ms. Delman has two jury trials staning on October 27 and
November 6, 2023. She does not have sufficient time to learn the case and to research and draft an
opposition to the summary judgment motion as currently scheduled. (Delman Decl., 11 2.)
Additionally, Ms. Delman served discovery on October 10, 2023 as she believes that she needs
Plaintiff‘s responses to use as evidence in support 0f the opposition. Defendant may also need to
find and retain a Swedish lawyer, as the contract at issue in this case is governed by Swedish law.
The issues are complex, as Defendant believes that California law may also apply.
