Plaintiffs seek an emergency continuance of the May 28, 2026 hearing, asserting that McNeil’s PTSD makes participation medically unsafe until the court resolves his ADA-accommodation request and the motion for leave to file a second amended complaint. The motion asks the court to decide those threshold matters first, strike SAC 181’s allegedly untimely opposition to amendment, and reset the hearing only after accommodations are in place and responsive pleadings to the proposed amendment can be filed. It places before the court plaintiffs’ allegations that defense discovery conduct, alleged interference with third-party evidence, and prolonged non-rulings have compounded McNeil’s disability and impaired meaningful access to the proceedings. The filing does not itself change the pleadings or hearing date; it preserves plaintiffs’ objections and seeks procedural relief based on health, ADA access, and case-management grounds.
