ORDER DENYING REQUEST TO

VACATE CASE MANAGEMENT

CONFERENCE

An order scheduled a case management conference for March 10. That order noted that

unless the parties jointly moved to dismiss the case by March 9, the case management

conference would go forwards. The parties filed a stipulation asking the Court to vacate the case

management conference inasmuch as the parties have “prepared and circulated for comment and

approval a written form of confidential settlement agreement to be signed by party

representatives no later than March 4, 2016.” The parties further state that once the settlement is

executed and payment is made accordingly, the parties will move to dismiss the action, which

they expect to occur no later than March 31.

This case has languished long enough. If the parties are not prepared to dismiss the case

once the agreement is signed on March 4, the case must move forward. Accordingly, the parties’

request to vacate the case management conference is DENIED. 

Any relief related to the settlement conference should be sought from Judge Corley.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
