1 Case No. 13-cv-01641-AWI-JLT

DEFENDANT UNION PACIFIC RAILROAD COMPANY’S REQUEST TO MODIFY THE PRETRIAL 

SCHEDULING ORDER TO CONTINUE THE MANDATORY SETTLEMENT CONFERENCE AND 

ORDER

Defendant Union Pacific Railroad Company (“UPRR”) respectfully requests the Court 

modify its Pretrial Scheduling Order (ECF No. 11) to continue the April 29, 2015 mandatory 

settlement conference with Magistrate Judge Jennifer L. Thurston until after the Court rules on 

UPRR’s Motion for Summary Judgment, or Alternatively, Partial Summary Judgment. (ECF No. 

25) (the “Motion”). On March 2, 2015, UPRR filed the Motion and noticed a hearing for April 6, 

2015. Pursuant to Local Rule 230(c), Plaintiff’s Opposition was due March 23, 2015, two weeks 

before the hearing date. Plaintiff did not file an opposition to the Motion. On March 30, 2015, 

UPRR filed a Reply regarding the Motion. (ECF No. 26). On March 31, 2015, the Court vacated

the hearing and set the matter for decision on the papers. (ECF No. 28). 

Given Plaintiff’s failure to oppose the Motion, UPRR respectfully requests the Court vacate 

the upcoming settlement conference and schedule it after the Court rules on the Motion. This will 

help promote judicial economy because the parties will not be forced to attend a settlement 

conference while an unopposed summary judgment motion is pending.

2 Case No. 13-cv-01641-AWI-JLT

DEFENDANT UNION PACIFIC RAILROAD COMPANY’S REQUEST TO MODIFY THE PRETRIAL 

SCHEDULING ORDER TO CONTINUE THE MANDATORY SETTLEMENT CONFERENCE AND 

ORDER

ORDER

Because Defendant indicates it is not in a position to discuss settlement until after it 

receives a ruling on its dispositive motion, the April 29, 2015 settlement conference is 

VACATED. If, in the future, the settlement posture of the case changes, counsel may file a joint 

request that a settlement conference be placed on calendar.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: April 6, 2015 /s/ Jennifer L. Thurston
