No. C 05-3494 BZ

ORDER GRANTING MOTION TO

DISMISS REMAINING CAUSE OF

ACTION 

By orders dated October 19, 2006 and January 18, 2006, I

set a trial in this matter for July 30, 2007 and directed the

parties to file certain trial documents by June 20, 2007. 

Prior to June 20, stipulations disposed of all claims except

Patrick Tansy’s claim against North Pacific Insurance Co. See

Docket No.’s 58-62. No trial documents were filed by June 20,

2007. Having been informed that North Pacific reached

settlement with Mr. Tansy but was unable to secure a signed

stipulation of dismissal, I ordered North Pacific to file an

appropriate motion and, in the same order, warned Mr. Tansy

that he risked being held in contempt if he continued to

ignore the Court’s orders.

North Pacific thereafter filed a motion requesting that

Mr. Tansy’s claim against them be dismissed with prejudice. 

With its motion, North Pacific provided a copy of a release of

claims form signed by Mr. Tansy. By the terms of the release,

Mr. Tansy agreed to dismiss his action against North Pacific

in exchange for a dollar payment. North Pacific also provided

a copy of an e-mail exchange in which Mr. Tansy gives

permission to North Pacific to file a motion to dismiss based

upon the settlement. No opposition was filed to North

Pacific’s motion. 

Mr. Tansy appears to have settled his claims against

North Pacific. The e-mail message supplied by North Pacific

and the failure by Mr. Tansy’s to file an opposition to the

motion or otherwise prosecute his remaining causes of action

demonstrates his unwillingness to further pursue his claims as

against North Pacific. For these reasons, IT IS HEREBY

ORDERED that Mr. Tansy’s claims against North Pacific are

DISMISSED with prejudice. The hearing scheduled for August

15, 2007 is VACATED. The Clerk shall close the file. 

Dated: August 2, 2007
