IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JASON HERRERA and MARIA HERRERA,

Plaintiffs,

 v.

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

Defendant. /

No. C 06-02301 WHA

REMINDER NOTICE OF

UPCOMING TRIAL AND FINAL

PRETRIAL CONFERENCE

This notice serves as a friendly reminder that this case remains set for a FINAL

PRETRIAL CONFERENCE on JUNE 4, 2007, at 2:00 P.M., with a BENCH TRIAL on JUNE 18, 2007. 

Please consult the existing case management order and review and follow all standing

guidelines and orders of the undersigned for civil cases on the Court’s website at

http://www.cand.uscourts.gov. Continuances will rarely be granted. 

The final pretrial conference will be an important event, for it will be there that the

shape of the upcoming trial will be determined, including in limine orders, time limits and

exhibit mechanics. Lead trial counsel must attend. 

To avoid any misunderstanding with respect to the final pretrial conference and trial, the

Court wishes to emphasize that all filings and appearances must be made — on pain of

dismissal, default or other sanction — unless and until a dismissal fully resolving the case is

received. It will not be enough to inform the clerk that a settlement in principle has been

reached or to lodge a partially executed settlement agreement or to lodge a fully executed

agreement (or dismissal) that resolves less than the entire case. Where, however, a

fully-executed and unconditional settlement agreement clearly and fully disposing of the entire

case is lodged reasonably in advance of the pretrial conference or trial and only a ministerial act

remains, the Court will arrange a telephone conference to work out an alternate procedure

pending a formal dismissal. 

In order to evaluate whether the Court can be of further ADR assistance, please file a

joint report within fourteen days of service of this order describing the progress and status of

your ADR efforts to date and any further ADR recommendations by the parties.
