13 vs. MOTION TO CONTINUE SETTLEMENT CONFERENCE 14 JAMES DZURENDA, et al.

15 Defendants. 16 17 Defendants, Henry Grant, Jonathan Rivera, Guy Brown, Aaron Dicus, Brandon Stubbs, and 18 Patrick Moreda, by and through counsel, Aaron D. Ford, Attorney General of the State of Nevada, 19 and Douglas R. Rands, Senior Deputy Attorney General, hereby move this Court for an order 20 continuing the Settlement Conference currently set for November 5, 2021. Counsel has, this day, 21 taken over the handling of the case from the prior attorney who has left the public safety division of 22 the Office of the Attorney General for other opportunities. An attorney from this office contacted 23 Plaintiff, for a meet and confer conference regarding a stipulation to continue the Settlement 24 Conference. Plaintiff was not in agreement. Therefore, Counsel requests the continuance to become 25 more familiar with this case to participate in a productive settlement process. 26 Courts have inherent powers to control their dockets, see Ready Transp., Inc. v. AAR Mfg, 27 Inc.,

(citations omitted), and to “achieve the orderly and expeditious disposition 1 || court’s ability to enforce its orders, manage its docket, and regulate insubordinate [ ] conduct.

2 || (citing Mazzeo v. Gibbons, No. 2:08-cv01387-RLH-PAL,

, at *2 (D.Nev. 2010)). 3 || LR JA 6-1 discusses requests for continuances. The rule states: 4 (a) A motion or stipulation to extend time must state the reasons for the extension requested and must inform the court of all previous extensions of the subject 5 deadline the court granted. (Examples: “This is the first stipulation for extension of time to file motions.” “This is the third motion to extend time to take discovery.”) 6 7 This is the first request, and is requested for good cause. Counsel has only, today, taken over 8 || this matter for further litigation. Therefore, it is requested that the Settlement Conference be g || continued to a date convenient to this Court’s calendar. 10 DATED this 4th day of November, 2021. 11 AARON D.
