UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

SCOTT JOHNSON,

Plaintiff,

v.

ETHAN G. CONRAD,

Defendant.

No. 2:14-cv-2951 KJM KJN

ORDER

On May 22, 2015, the court conducted a settlement conference in this action. At that 

conference, the parties also considered potential settlement of another pending case, Johnson v. 

Conrad et al., 2:14-cv-596-MCE-EFB. Although neither case settled at the May 22, 2015 

settlement conference, the parties discussed the possibility of conducting a further settlement 

conference to address a potential global resolution and settlement involving plaintiff and all of 

Mr. Conrad’s properties, including any properties owned by business entities affiliated with Mr. 

Conrad. 

In light of the discussions at the May 22, 2015 settlement conference, IT IS HEREBY 

ORDERED that:

1. No later than June 5, 2015, the parties shall file a joint status report addressing their 

respective positions regarding whether a potential global resolution and settlement

involving plaintiff and all of Mr. Conrad’s properties should be pursued at another 

settlement conference.

2. Assuming that the parties are agreeable to pursuing such a global resolution and 

settlement, the joint status report shall address:

a. Which parties, counsel, and other persons should be present at the future 

settlement conference.

b. What preliminary matters should be accomplished prior to such a settlement 

conference, including the timing for such matters.

c. Whether the parties have had any preliminary discussions regarding the 

structure of a potential global resolution and settlement, such as a possible 

consent decree, or any other matters that may help to streamline the settlement 

conference.

d. Proposed dates for a settlement conference within 60 days after the filing of the 

joint status report. 

3. This action is temporarily stayed for 75 days. Although the parties at the settlement 

conference also agreed to stay the action of Johnson v. Conrad et al., 2:14-cv-596-

MCE-EFB, that action has already been stayed by order of Judge England (see id., 

ECF No. 20) and thus remains subject to Judge England’s stay. 

4. Based on the agreement of the parties at the May 22, 2015 settlement conference, 

plaintiff shall not file any new lawsuits regarding Mr. Conrad’s properties in the next 

75 days.

5. The Clerk of Court shall file an additional copy of this order on the docket in the 

action of Johnson v. Conrad et al., 2:14-cv-596-MCE-EFB. 

IT IS SO ORDERED. 

Dated: May 26, 2015
