ORDER RE: STATUS CONFERENCE

ORDER FOR PARTIES TO

COMMUNICATE WITH THE COURT

VIA FILED DOCUMENTS

This matter is currently scheduled for a status conference on May 13, 2010 regarding the

status of the parties’ settlement agreement. However, since scheduling the conference, the Court has

received several ex parte phone calls, ranging from a Defendant calling to say it has not been served

with certain documents filed under seal that are relevant to the May 13 hearing, to the Plaintiff

herself (not Plaintiff’s counsel) calling to say she cannot attend the hearing and her counsel will not

return her phone calls. Such calls are improper ex parte communications. Accordingly, the Court

hereby ORDERS the parties to file written requests whenever they seek the Court’s assistance. 

Further, Plaintiff’s counsel is hereby ORDERED to (1) contact Plaintiff and, if necessary, file a

request to continue the hearing by 3pm on Wednesday, May 12; and (2) serve all documents (other

than settlement conference statements) that have not already been served upon the necessary

Defendant(s). If any of the parties would like the Court to consider an ex parte matter, and the Court

has not requested any such submissions, the requesting party shall file and serve a request for

permission to submit the ex parte communication.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
