STIPULATION TO CONTINUE THE SETTLEMENT CONFERENCE

THALER 

LAW

SANTA

Defendant indicated that a March 16, 2020 Settlement Conference was unlikely to be 

productive due to multiple outstanding discovery issues which the parties are working to 

resolve;

WHEREAS, the Court ordered the Parties at the conclusion of the Mid-Discovery Status 

Conference held on January 31, 2020 to submit a stipulation continuing the Settlement 

Conference to an agreeable date; 

WHEREAS, pursuant to a stipulation between the Parties, the Court set a Settlement 

Conference for June 15, 2020;

WHEREAS, after consideration of the settlement conference statements and the offers 

that have been exchanged between the Parties, the Court found the case is not in a settlement 

posture and ordered counsel to file “a joint statement indicating they believe there is a 

substantial likelihood of settlement at the conference, or they SHALL stipulate to continue the 

conference to a date by which the case is more likely to be in a settlement posture”;

WHEREAS, after a telephone discussion between Counsel on June 9, 2020 it appears 

that there is not a substantial likelihood of settlement at the Settlement Conference, although 

the Parties believe that some progress toward a settlement might be achieved through 

participation in the Settlement Conference or a mediation;

WHEREAS, Defendant plans to file a dispositive motion after the close of discovery in 

this case and Counsel for Plaintiff does not believe the settlement landscape will change until 

adjudication of Defendant’s proposed dispositive motion;

NOW, THEREFORE, the Parties hereby agree and stipulate that the Settlement 

Conference be continued to November 16, 2020, or on such other date that is beyond the 

dispositive motion hearing deadline of November 10, 2020;
