defendants’ opposition and the issues it raises, including that this case was filed in May 2026 and is not yet at issue. The Court orders the parties to meet and confer to set an expedited schedule for anticipated discovery and law and motion practice. Defendants stated they could not obtain a date for their motion to strike until mid- September. The Court reminds defendants they can move to seek ex parte relief for an order shortening time. The Court finds good cause to order a single continuance of 15 days, requiring trial to be set within 135 days of the granting of this motion – or by November 25, 2026. ["Upon the granting of such a motion for preference, the court shall set the matter for trial not more than 120 days from that date and there shall be no continuance beyond 120 days from the granting of the motion for preference except ...upon showing of good cause stated in the record.
Any continuance shall be for no more than 15 days[.]" (Code Civ. Proc., § 36, subd. (f).)]
