Defendant. )

)

On November 7, 2007, the parties filed a Joint Status

Report stating that “the parties have within the past week reached

a complete settlement of this action” and “counsel are currently in

the process of preparing the necessary documentation concerning

that settlement and expect to submit to the Court within the next

30 days a stipulation for dismissal with prejudice of the entire

action.” Therefore, a dispositional document shall be filed no

later than December 7, 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.”).

The status 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 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). 

2

The status conference scheduled for November 26, 2007, is 

rescheduled to commence at 9:00 a.m. on February 4, 2008, in the

event that no dispositional document is filed, or if this action is

not otherwise dismissed. Further, a joint status report shall be

filed fourteen days prior to the status conference.1

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: November 19, 2007
