On April 18, 2007, Defendants filed a Notice of

Settlement notifying the Court “that this matter has been settled”

and that “[t]he parties will submit a stipulation for dismissal to

this court when closing documentation has been completed.” A

dispositional document shall be filed no later than May 8, 2007. 

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. 16-160(b) (“A failure to file

dispositional papers on the date prescribed by the Court may be

grounds for sanctions.”).

1 The trial 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). 

The trial scheduled to commence at 9:00 a.m. on May 30,

2007, and all related deadlines, will remain on calendar.1

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: April 18, 2007
