                           TO ALL PARTIES AND THEIR COUNSEL OF RECORD:

                                    THE COURT FINDS            as follows:


                                    An initial Case Management Conference was preViously ordered and scheduled
                           for July  ii,   2020 in this action.
                                    Pursuant to Rule 3.722(d) of the California Rules of Court, based upon the
                           Court’s review of the led       Case Management Statement(s)           and the docket of this action,
                           the Court determines that appearances at the Conference are not necessary at this time,                  as
                           this action is not yet “at issue”;    and determines that the Case Management Conference
                           should be continued.
                                    Pursuant to CRC Rule 3.1 10(b),        a plaintiff is required to serve the Summons and
                           Complaint upon all named defendants and le              proofs of service of process upon all of
                           those defendants within 6O days after the filing of the Complaint.
                                    __
                                             Plaintiff has failed to le     proofs of service of the Summons and
                                    Complaint upon      all Defendants.
                                       ig    Plaintiff has led    proofs of service of the Summons and Complaint
                                    upon   allDefendants, yet     not  all Defendants have led       an appearance in
                                    this action and/or had a Default entered against them.
                                             Plaintiff has led    proofs of service of the Summons and Complaint
                                    upon   allDefendants,    but  not  all Defendants have led        an Answer and/or
                                    had a Default entered against them.

                                    IT IS  HEREBY ORDERED as follows:
                                    1.       As this action is not yet “at issue”, the initial Case Management
                           Conference is CONTINUED to October ,                   2020 at 9:00 a.m.     in Department     11 of this
                           Court, located at Courtroom 2D, 400 County Center, Redwood City,                   California.
                                    2.       No later than 30 days prior to the date of this initial Case Management
                           Conference,    the  parties must meet and confer, in person or by telephone, to            consider each
                           of the issues identied      in CRC Rule 3.721      and Rule 3.727.

                           mandatory form CM—110.             However, it would facilitate the issuance of a case
                           management      order  without an appearance at the Case Management Conference if you

                           Stipulation to ADR and Proposed Order (Local Form ADR-CV-l).                      If all parties le   a
                           completed Stipulation to ADR and Proposed Order at least ten (10)                calendar days prior to
                           the date of this initial Case Management Conference, the Case Management Conference
