United States District Court

Northern District of California

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

PATRICIA COTTEN, et al.,

Plaintiffs,

v.

NATIONAL STEEL AND SHIPBUILDING 

COMPANY, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 14-cv-02124-JD 

ORDER OF CONDITIONAL

DISMISSAL

The Court was previously informed that the only remaining defendant who had not reached 

a settlement with plaintiffs in this case was National Steel. Dkt. No. 99. On July 23, 2015, 

defendant National Steel and Shipbuilding Company informed the Court that the action had been 

resolved as to that defendant as well. Dkt. No. 101. 

Consequently, based on the Court’s understanding that the action has been settled as 

against all defendants, the Court dismisses this case without prejudice. If, however, any party 

certifies to the Court within ninety days from the date of this order that the agreed consideration 

for the settlement of this action has not been delivered over, then this order will be vacated and the 

case will be restored to the calendar to be set for trial. If no such certification is filed, the 

dismissal will be with prejudice after the passage of the ninety days.

The Court will not entertain any further requests for piecemeal dismissals, e.g., Dkt. 

No. 105.

Dated: September 10, 2015
