IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

SAN JOSE DIVISION

DIRECTV, INC., a California corporation,

Plaintiff,

v.

JASON ALFORD,

Defendant.

 /

Case No. C05-00009 HRL

ORDER CONTINUING ORDER TO

SHOW CAUSE RE: SETTLEMENT

 

On September 7, 2005, plaintiff's counsel, Brandon Q. Tran, filed a declaration in response to

the court's August 19, 2005 Order to Show Cause. Mr. Tran represented that, on June 8, 2005, his

office sent to counsel for defendant a copy of the agreed upon Settlement Agreement and Release

("Agreement") for defendant's signature. Mr. Tran explained that counsel for defendant informed him

that defendant has not yet signed the Agreement, and is currently out of the country until midSeptember. Mr. Tran further stated that he expects the Agreement to be finalized within 45 days. 

Accordingly, the court will continue the September 13, 2005 hearing on the Order to Show Cause to

give the parties a further opportunity to finalize the Agreement.

Therefore, on or before November 8, 2005, the parties shall file a dismissal pursuant to Fed.

R. Civ. P. 41(a). If a dismissal is not filed by the specified date, the parties shall appear in Courtroom

2, 5th Floor of the United States District Court, 280 South First Street, San Jose, CA 95113 on

November 22, 2005 at 10:00 a.m. and show cause, if any, why the case should not be dismissed

pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(a). The parties shall file a joint statement in response to this Order to

Show Cause no later than November 15, 2005. The statement shall state (1) the status of the

activities of the parties in finalizing settlement; and (2) how much additional time, if any, is requested to

finalize the settlement and file the dismissal.

If a voluntary dismissal is filed as ordered, the Order to Show Cause hearing will be

automatically vacated and the parties need not file a statement in response to this order.

Plaintiff's request to appear telephonically at the September 13, 2005 Order to Show Cause

hearing is denied as moot.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
