UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

DANIEL W. PHIFER,

Plaintiff,

CASE NO. 06CV790

ORDER (1) GRANTING

DEFENDANT’S MOTION TO

WITHDRAW PENDING MOTION

FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT

WITHOUT PREJUDICE

vs.

CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF

CORRECTIONS,

Defendant.

Presently before the Court is Defendant’s motion to withdraw its pending motion for summary

judgment. [Doc. No. 36.] On August 21, 2007, Defendant filed its motion for summary judgment.

[Doc. No. 13.] Subsequently, the parties engaged in mediation, which ultimately led to an agreement

in principle to settle the case. [Def.’s Motion at 2.] The written settlement agreement is being

finalized, and the settlement is contingent upon approval by the United States Bankruptcy Court for

the Southern District of California (In Re Daniel W. Phifer, Jr., Case No. 06-00765). [Id.]

Due to this settlement agreement, Defendant requests that the Court grant its motion to

withdraw its pending motion for summary judgment. Defendant also requests that the withdrawal be

without prejudice so that it can re-notice the motion for hearing if the Bankruptcy Court fails to

approve the settlement, or if other issues arise that prevent the finalization of the settlement.
