IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

FLOYD JONES,

Plaintiff,

 v.

LAW OFFICES OF BRACHFELD &

ASSOCIATES P.C.,

Defendant. /

No. C 09-05514 WHA

ORDER RE NOTICES

OF SETTLEMENT

The Court has already ruled on the subject of a continuance of the case management

conference and granted a two-week extension to allow the parties to finalize the settlement. 

The forty-day estimate by plaintiff is unreasonably long and the Court will stick with the already

granted extension so that the case management conference will proceed on March 25 as

scheduled. If counsel will provide a written and signed settlement agreement prior to March 25,

the Court will postpone the case management conference to allow for final payment, but absent

a written and signed agreement, the case management conference will proceed on March 25. 

The Court has learned the hard way that supposed settlements in principle often crater and

necessitate in gearing up again. Therefore, it is best to continue the litigation track until the final

agreement is signed and to ignore “notices of settlement.” 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: March 15, 2010.
