On September 6, 2007, Plaintiff filed a Notice of Global

Settlement in which he states “this action has settled in its

entirety as to all parties.” Plaintiff further states: “[u]pon the

final execution of the settlement documents and the successful

funding of the settlement amounts, the parties shall file a

stipulation of dismissal. . . . Accordingly, the parties will not

be filing the various documents or performing the other tasks set

forth in the court’s June 28, 2007 final pretrial order.” 

In light of the Notice of Global Settlement, a

dispositional document shall be filed no later than September 26,

1 The trial commencement date will remain on calendar

because the mere representation that an action has been settled

does not justify removal of the action from a district court’s

trial docket. 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).

dismissal order could be filed. See L.R. 16-160(b) (“A failure to

file dispositional papers on the date prescribed by the Court may

be grounds for sanctions.”).

Further, the October 10, 2007 trial commencement date

shall remain on calendar.1 If a dispositional document is not

filed on or before September 26, 2007, the parties shall have until

October 3, 2007, to file the various documents and/or perform the

other tasks set forth in the final pretrial order.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
