Jon Carstens v. Covidien, Inc. et al 23CV000953

COVIDIEN DEFENDANT’S MOTION TO CONTINUE TRIAL

APPEARANCE REQUIRED: The parties are directed to appear prepared to: (1) inform the Court whether there is any opposition to the Motion; and (2) discuss new trial dates.

The Motion was not properly noticed for hearing. June 19, 2026, and July 3, 2026, were Court holidays. Thus, June 9, 2026, was the last day for service, by electronic means, of Notice and moving papers set for hearing on July 7, 2026. (See Code Civ. Proc., §§ 12c, subds. (a) and (b), 1005, subd. (b), and 1010.6, subd. (a)(3)(B).)

However, requests to continue trial may be made ex parte. (See Cal. Rules of Court, rule 3.1332(b).) The Court would, therefore, like to hear from the parties regarding the substance of the Motion.
