On March 28, 2016, the parties filed a joint status report in lieu of dispositional 

documents. ECF No. 77. That status report states that the parties have been diligently working to 

resolve this matter and have “been able to substantially reach a final agreement on all but two 

outstanding items.” Id. Because those two items were addressed at the February 2, 2016, 

settlement conference, the parties request an informal telephonic conference with the 

undersigned. Id. During that telephonic conference the undersigned can resolve the outstanding 

items in light of the settlement conference recording, which is now sealed. Id. 

In accordance with the foregoing and good cause being shown, the court will schedule an 

informal telephonic conference for Monday, April 11, 2016, at 9:00 a.m. The court will also, 

however, order the parties to email a confidential joint letter to the undersigned by Thursday, 

April 7, 2016, explaining what outstanding items they need addressed. A failure to timely email 

the required letter will result in the scheduled telephonic conference being vacated. 

In accordance with the foregoing, THE COURT HEREBY ORDERS that: 

1. The parties shall email a confidential joint letter re: settlement to 

acorders@caed.uscourts.gov by April 7, 2016, explaining what outstanding items must be 

addressed before the filing of dispositional documents; and 

2. The parties are directed to appear telephonically at an informal settlement conference 

on April 11, 2016, at 9:00 a.m. The parties should call the undersigned’s Judicial Assistant, 

Donna Dal Porto, at 916-930-4120, who will transfer them to chambers. The parties must 

connect with one another via conference call before calling into chambers. 

DATED: March 30, 2016
