STATUS REPORT AND REQUEST TO 

CONTINUE INITIAL CASE 

MANAGEMENT CONFERENCE 

PENDING FINALIZATION OF 

SETTLEMENT; DECLARATION OF 

ANNE M. BEVINGTON IN SUPPORT 

THEREOF; AND ORDER 

Date: July 28, 2016

Time: 11:00 a.m.

 Honorable Laurel Beeler

Complaint Filed: June 16, 2015

Plaintiffs request a 30-day continuance of the Case Management Conference currently set in 

this matter for July 28, 2016 at 11:00 a.m. in Courtroom C, 15th Floor of this Court, and the related 

deadlines for filing their Case Management Conference Statement and Rule 26(f) report, and 

completing initial disclosures. Defendants have agreed to the continuance. Good cause exists for 

the requested continuance for the following reasons. 

On April 25, 2016, the parties participated in a mediation session with Mediator Robert 

Pohls. Mr. Pohls filed his Certification of Mediation on April 26, 2016, informing the Court that 

the mediation was complete and that full settlement had occurred (Dkt #31). The parties reached 

an agreement and have been circulating a formal written agreement which contemplates dismissal

of the action only after a Settlement Agreement, and a Stipulation for Entry of Judgment, to be filed 

only in the event of default, are fully executed, and certain consideration has been timely paid. 

On June 27, 2016, I received the first payment that was due under the terms of settlement. 

However, the settlement documentation, which calls for payments over time secured by a 

Stipulation for Entry of Judgment in the event of default, has not yet been fully executed by all 

parties and counsel. I believe that it would conserve expenses for all parties to have the initial Case 

Management Conference set for July 28, 2016, continued for an additional 30 days so that the 

parties’ settlement documentation can be finalized and a Stipulation for Voluntary Dismissal can be 

filed. On July 21, 2016, I emailed Eugene Ashley, counsel for defendants, and advised him of my 

intention to request this 30 day continuance. He responded that he agreed.

 I, Anne M. Bevington, declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true of my 

own knowledge and belief, and if called upon to testify, I would competently testify thereto.

Plaintiffs therefore request that the initial Case Management Conference set for July 28, 

2016, be continued an additional 30 days, to on or after August 25, 2016, to allow the parties 

additional time to execute the settlement documents and to file their Stipulation for Voluntary 

Dismissal of the within action. 

The changes will not affect any other deadline on the Court’s calendar.

Dated: July 21, 2016 Respectfully submitted,
