conference scheduled for March 26, 2007 off calendar.” A

dispositional document shall be filed no later than April 9, 2007.

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

dispositional papers on the date prescribed by the Court may be

The final pretrial conference will remain on calendar, because 1

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). 

Further, the final pretrial conference scheduled for

March 26, 2007 is continued to April 30, 2007, commencing at 1:30

p.m.1

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: March 20, 2007
