ORDER

Pending before the court are Plaintiff's Motion for Settlement Conference (Doc. #25)

and Plaintiff's Motion for Order Allowing Plaintiff to File Third Amended Complaint (Doc.

#30).

Plaintiff's one-line motion for a settlement conference simply asks the court to order

one. It presents no reasons to support the request. Defendants filed a Response (Doc. #28)

in which they oppose the motion because the parties have not yet engaged in meaningful

discovery. Defendants further state that the parties have agreed to participate in a private

mediation when the time is appropriate. Plaintiff has not filed a reply in support of her

motion. In light of Plaintiff's failure to identify any reasons to order a settlement conference

at this time, and based on Defendants' reasons for opposing the request, the court will deny

Plaintiff's motion without prejudice. Plaintiff may re-urge the motion at an appropriate time

but must present valid reasons to support it.

 It appears that Plaintiff mistakenly filed the Third Amended Complaint before

seeking the court's permission. Doc. #23. Given the court's decision to grant the motion,

Plaintiff need not re-file the Third Amended Complaint. 

- 2 -

Regarding Plaintiff's motion for permission to file a third amended complaint,

Defendants have filed a Response (Doc. #31) indicating they have no objection to the

request. Accordingly, the motion will be granted.1

IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED:

That Plaintiff's Motion for Settlement Conference (Doc. #25) is denied without

prejudice; and 

That Plaintiff's Motion for Order Allowing Plaintiff to File Third Amended Complaint

(Doc. #30) is granted.

DATED this 24th day of July, 2006.
