UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

On January 4, 2016, the Court signed the parties’ proposed consent decree. (Doc. 29) The 

consent decree resolved all matters except for “the amount of Plaintiff’s claims for damages or the 

amount of attorneys’ fees, litigation expenses and costs in this Action.” (Id. at 4) On April 26, 2016, 

Plaintiff informed the Court that that the parties agreed to engage in mediation but did not have a date 

scheduled for the mediation to occur. (Doc. 32) Accordingly, the Court ordered the parties to file a 

joint status report “[n]o later than May 27, 2016 and every 60 days thereafter” related to the mediation 

proceedings, including information regarding the scheduled mediation. (Doc. 33 at 2, emphasis 

omitted).

The parties failed to file a status report or otherwise comply with the Court’s order, and the 

Court issued an order to show cause directing the parties to file a joint status report regarding the 

mediation proceedings. (Doc. 34) In response, the parties filed a Joint Status Report indicating they

“still intend to complete mediation with mediator Lee Jacobson,” but the mediation was not yet set. 

(Doc. 35 at 1) Instead, the parties indicated they planned to “follow[] up with Mr. Jacobson’s case 

manager and aim to have a date confirmed.” (Id.)

Given delay with the parties seeking the resolution of the matter, despite notifying the Court in 

January that the consent decree resolved all matters except for the amount of damages, fees, and 

expenses to be paid, the parties are again ORDERED to show cause within seven days as to why the 

matter should not be dismissed. In the alternative, the parties SHALL file a Joint Status Report 

setting forth the status of the mediation proceedings, including the date scheduled with Mr. Jacobson.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
