PRELIMINARY STATEMENT REGARDING SEPARATE CASE MANAGEMENT STATEMENT Local Rule 16-9(a) provides, "If one or more of the parties is not represented by counsel, the parties may file separate case management statements." In this case, none of the Defendants is represented by counsel. Accordingly, pursuant to Local Rule 16-9(a), Plaintiffs submit this statement as a separate Case Management Statement. Defendant Run Ping Zhou filed a separate Case Management Statement
STATUS OF CASE AND MOTION FOR DEFAULT JUDGMENT Plaintiffs intend to file a motion for default judgment in this case against the Defendants, now that service is complete and the Clerk has entered defaults. Until September 3, 2008, however, two Defendants were not subject to defaults: Molly Lau and Run Ping Zhou.
Nonetheless, on September 3, 2008, Plaintiffs filed a Notice of Voluntary Dismissal of Defendant Molly Lau, thereby ending the case against her. Plaintiffs' counsel has also sent Defendant Run Ping Zhou a stipulation of dismissal for her to sign and return for filing, after discussing with her the possibility of dismissing her from the case. Plaintiffs anticipate receiving the stipulation back from Defendant Zhou soon. Once Plaintiffs' counsel has received and filed the stipulation of dismissal, then all nondefaulting Defendants would be dismissed, and all of the remaining Defendants in the case would be in default. After that dismissal, Plaintiffs will file their motion for default judgment.
Respectfully Submitted, COOKE, KOBRICK, & WU LLP Dated: September 5, 2008 /s/ By: STEPHEN S. WU Attorneys for Plaintiffs
