Plaintiff, )

v. ) AND DISPOSITION

WEST ASSET MANAGEMENT, INC., )

Defendant. )

)

On February 24, 2010, the parties filed a Notice of

Settlement in which they state “this case has . . . settled” and they

“anticipate filing a stipulation of dismissal of this action

 . . . with prejudice within thirty days.” Therefore, a

dispositional document shall be filed no later than March 26, 2010.

Failure to respond by this deadline may be construed as consent to

dismissal of this action without prejudice, and a dismissal order

could be filed. See L.R. 160(b) (“A failure to file dispositional

papers on the date prescribed by the Court may be grounds for

sanctions.”).

The status conference scheduled for April 12, 2010 is

continued to commence at 9:00 a.m. on April 26, 2010, in the event

The status conference will remain on calendar, because 1

the mere representation that a case has been settled does not

justify discontinuance of calendering a scheduling proceeding. Cf.

Callie v. Near, 829 F.2d 888, 890 (9th Cir. 1987) (indicating that

a representation that claims have been settled does not necessarily

establish the existence of a binding settlement agreement). 

2

that no dispositional document is filed, or if this action is not

otherwise dismissed. Further, a joint status report shall be filed

fourteen days prior to the status conference.1

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: February 25, 2010
