Defendants in mediation on February 22, 2010. (See id. at 2.) The parties represent that the two

non-settling Plaintiffs—Tomas Morales and Jonhatan Maldonado—were not present at the

mediation and have been otherwise absent from the case. (Id.) Plaintiffs’ counsel has moved to

withdraw from representation of the two absent Plaintiffs. (See Docket Item No. 9.)

In light of the settlement, the Court VACATES all trial and pretrial dates1

(1) On or before April 16, 2010, the parties shall file a stipulated dismissal pursuant to

cause, if any, why the case should not be dismissed pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(b). 

On or before April 16, 2010, the parties shall file a joint statement in response to the

Order to Show Cause. The joint statement shall set forth the status of the activities of

the parties for finalizing the settlement and how much additional time is requested to

(2) The Court ORDERS Plaintiffs Morales and Maldonado to appear in Courtroom No.

8, 4th Floor, United States District Court, 280 South First Street, San Jose, CA on

April 26, 2010 at 9:00 a.m. and to show cause, if any, why this case should not be
