UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

GAIL BENNETT-WOFFORD, et al.,

Plaintiffs,

v.

BAYVIEW LOAN SERVICING, LLC,

Defendant.

Case No. 15-cv-02445-SI (DMR)

ORDER DENYING PLAINTIFFS' 

REQUEST TO RESCHEDULE 

SETTLEMENT CONFERENCE

Re: Dkt. No. 42

On December 11, 2015, the Honorable Susan Illston referred this case for an emergency 

settlement conference. On December 14, 2015, the undersigned issued an order scheduling a 

January 26, 2016 settlement conference, and giving the parties a December 21, 2015 deadline to 

notify the court of any scheduling conflicts. On January 15, 2016, Plaintiffs filed an untimely 

request to reschedule. Docket No. 42. Defendant objected, noting among other things that its 

corporate counsel had already paid for cross-country airfare and hotel accommodations associated 

with the settlement conference. Docket No. 43.

The court denies Plaintiffs’ request due to its lateness, as well as the fact that rescheduling 

would result in financial prejudice to Defendant. The settlement conference will go forward on 

January 26, 2016 as originally scheduled. All parties must attend, and must also comply with all 

instructions set forth in the court's December 14, 2015 scheduling order. Docket No. 37.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: January 19, 2016
