United States District Court

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

SCOTT JOHNSON,

Plaintiff,

v.

DONALD ENSCH, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 19-cv-02884-SVK 

ORDER DENYING PLAINTIFF’S 

REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL TIME 

TO FINALIZE SETTLEMENT

Re: Dkt. No. 30

Plaintiff’s request for additional time to finalize the settlement (Dkt. 30) is DENIED. The 

January 14, 2020 hearing remains on calendar. The parties have had ample time, in excess of 90 

days, to collect signatures. See Dkt. 20. Indeed, at a case management conference on 

December 10, 2019, counsel for Plaintiff represented to the Court that the settlement had been 

signed and payment was expected within 10 days. See Dkt. 29. Inexplicably, Plaintiff now states, 

in what appears to be boilerplate language, that the parties are merely “in the process of circulating 

[the settlement agreement] for signatures.” Dkt. 30. Plaintiff then requests yet another 30 days to 

file a dismissal. Plaintiff’s request is not well-taken, and counsel is advised to review the docket 

before submitting boilerplate requests to this Court.

The Court further ORDERS that a dismissal is to be filed before the January 14, 2020 

hearing. If a dismissal is not on file by January 13, 2020, the parties are ordered to appear to show 

cause as to why the case should not be dismissed and closed by the Clerk of the Court, regardless 

of the status of settlement. 

SO ORDERED.

Dated: January 7, 2020
