IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

SHANNON GALLAGHER,

Plaintiff,

 v.

SIMPSON THACHER ET AL,

Defendants. /

No. C 04-00793 TEH

ORDER RE BRIEFING SCHEDULE

The Court is in receipt of the parties’ Further Joint Case Management Statement, dated

March 9, 2006. In this statement, the parties propose a schedule for filing cross-motions for

summary judgment that is unreasonably elongated and vague in light of the history of this case. 

In fact, the proposed schedule contains no definite deadline for filing such motions. At the

January 9, 2006 status conference, the parties represented that a settlement framework had been

agreed upon and that the remaining aspects of the settlement agreement could be “hammered

out in 30 days.” Even taking into account plaintiff’s personal problem, it appears that the

parties have made only incremental progress, and have failed to devote the necessary time and

resources to bring this matter to a timely closure. 

Accordingly, and good cause appearing, it is HEREBY ORDERED that absent a final

settlement of this matter, the parties shall file their cross-motions for summary judgment no

later than Monday, April 24, 2006. Oppositions shall be due no later than Monday, May 8,

2006, and any replies shall be due Monday, May 15, 2006. Hearing in this matter shall be on

Monday, June 5, 2006 at 10:00 a.m.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
