MELVIN LEONARD,

Plaintiff,

v.

SHAWN PATE,

Defendant.

Case No. 15-cv-00401-EDL (KAW)

ORDER VACATING 6/10/16 

SETTLEMENT CONFERENCE

This matter was initially scheduled for a settlement conference on March 2, 2016, but was 

continued to June 10, 2016 to provide the parties with additional time to complete the discovery 

necessary for a productive settlement conference. (Dkt. No. 48.) The parties were required to 

lodge settlement conference statements 10 calendar days prior to the settlement conference, but 

neither party lodged their statements as required. On June 3, 2016, the Court issued an order 

notifying the parties of this deficiency and advising them that the settlement conference may be 

continued if the statements were not received by the close of business. (Dkt. No. 51.)

In response, both parties filed letters apologizing for the oversight, and promised to timely 

submit settlement conference statements once the date is rescheduled. (Dkt. Nos. 52 & 53.) 

Accordingly, the June 10, 2016 settlement conference is VACATED. As this is the second 

continuance, and the initial referral required that the settlement conference occur in February 

2016, the parties are directed to obtain the permission of the presiding judge to extend the ADR 

deadline to August 31, 2016 prior to the conference being rescheduled to a date convenient to the 

undersigned.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
