STIPULATION TO VACATE AND RESET 

SETTLEMENT CONFERENCE

Date: May 15, 2014

Time: 10:00 a.m.

Courtroom: 7

Judge: Honorable Sheila K. Oberto

Trial Date: January 26, 2015

Action Filed: November 8, 2012

STIPULATION

Plaintiff and Defendants have exchanged offers in preparation for the Settlement 

Conference scheduled for May 15, 2014, at 10:00 a.m.; 

They have discussed the settlement figures and believe that they are so far apart that a 

settlement conference would be futile at this time; 

The scheduling order issued by the Court (Doc. 22) directed that “[a]s far in advance of the 

settlement conference as possible, a party shall inform the Court and other parties that it believes the 

case is not in a settlement posture so the Court may vacate or reset the settlement conference.”
