ROYAL SURPLUS LINES 

INSURANCE COMPANY,

Plaintiff, No. C 05-2484 PJH

v. ORDER

WATTS WATER TECHNOLOGIES, 

INC., and DOES 1-100,

Defendants.

_______________________________/

The court is in receipt of the parties’ joint pretrial statement, which was filed two days

after the September 19, 2006 deadline for the filing of the parties’ pretrial papers. In it, the

parties request that the court not only accept the parties’ belated joint pretrial statement,

but also grant the parties until September 25, 2006, in which to file their remaining pretrial

papers. 

Preliminarily, the court notes the parties have failed to establish good cause for

allowing the parties’ overdue pretrial filings, and as the parties readily acknowledge, the

proper time for the parties to have requested an extension of the deadline for filing their

pretrial papers was prior to passage of the September 19 deadline, rather than after the

fact. 

Despite this, and in view of the parties’ stated intention to attempt a settlement of the

case which may obviate the need for actual trial proceedings, the court hereby accepts the

parties’ belated joint pretrial statement, and GRANTS the parties’ request to extend the
