Motion for Trial Preference

The court notes that, on February 14, 2023, plaintiff Dennis Platt filed a sur-reply and supporting declaration in connection with the pending motion for trial preference.

In light of the information set forth in the sur-reply and supporting declaration about events that have occurred after the filing of the motion and after the filing of defendant FCA US LLC’s opposition, the court exercises its discretion to continue the hearing on this motion in order to give plaintiff Dennis Platt an opportunity to present additional evidence concerning his health, and to give defendant FCA US LLC an opportunity to address and respond to that evidence in a supplemental opposition.

The court therefore orders that the hearing on plaintiff Dennis Platt’s motion for trial preference is continued to March 23, 2023, at 10:00 a.m.

Plaintiff Dennis Platt shall file and serve by electronic service any supplemental papers in support of the motion for trial preference (with any memorandum of points and authorities not to exceed five pages in length) no later than February 28, 2023.

Defendant FCA US LLC shall file and serve by electronic service any supplemental opposition (with any memorandum of points and authorities not to exceed five pages in length) no later than March 10, 2023.

Plaintiff Dennis Platt shall file and serve by electronic service any supplemental reply papers (with any memorandum of points and authorities not to exceed five pages in length) no later than March 16, 2023. 

The court orders plaintiff Dennis Robert Platt to give notice of this ruling.

 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
