IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

PHASE FOUR INDUSTRIES, IN,

Plaintiff,

 v.

MARATHON COACH, INC.,

Defendant.

 /

No. C-04-04801-JW

ORDER REFERRING CASE TO

MAGISTRATE JUDGE TRUMBULL FOR

A SETTLEMENT CONFERENCE.

The Court conducted a Case Management Conference on October 31, 2005. Alan Heimlich

appeared on behalf of Phase Four and Monaco. Brenna Legaard appeared on behalf of Marathon. 

At the conference, the Court posed a question as to whether private mediation or judicial settlement

conference would be beneficial at this time in the ligation. Counsel expressed interests but requested some

time to confer with their respective clients. 

On December 7, 2005, the Court received an email from Ms. Legaard, representing that Marathon

is willing to engage in private mediation with a volunteer mediator, share the cost of a private mediator, or

participate in a judicial settlement conference. On December 14, 2005, the Court received an email

notification from Mr. Heimlich, representing that at this time, Phase Four prefers a judicial settlement

conference.
