On January 6, 2010 Plaintiff filed a Notice of Settlement

in which she states “the parties . . . have reached a settlement[,]”

and “are in the process of finalizing the settlement . . . ” “The

parties intend to complete the final paperwork no later than January

27, 2010.” Therefore, a dispositional document shall be filed no

later than January 28, 2010. 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. 160(b) (“A

failure to file dispositional papers on the date prescribed by the

Court may be grounds for sanctions.”).

The final pretrial conference scheduled for April 12, 2010

The final pretrial conference will remain on calendar, 1

because the mere representation that a case has been settled does

not justify discontinuance of calendering a scheduling proceeding.

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).

is filed, or if this action is not otherwise dismissed. Further, a

joint pretrial statement shall be filed seven days prior to the

conference.1

IT IS SO ORDERED.
