WHEREAS:

1. The parties would like to attend a settlement conference, preferably with 

Magistrate Judge Kellison, before incurring additional time and expenses on CITY Defendants’

pending Motion for Sanctions and Motion to Dismiss;

2. In order to provide the best opportunity to settle this case, the parties agree that it 

is important to minimize additional costs and attorney’s fees to the extent possible so that they 

can attempt to resolve this case at a settlement conference;

3. The Court has not yet issued a Scheduling Order in this case, thus providing the 

parties time to attempt to resolve this case at a settlement conference before incurring additional 

law and motion expenses will not result in the rescheduling of any pretrial or trial deadlines.

The parties therefore request that the Court schedule a settlement conference with Judge 

Kellison for a date that is convenient for the Court’s and counsel’s calendar. The parties also 

request that CITY Defendants’ Motion for Sanctions For Violations of Court Orders (Court’s 

Docket No. 22) and Motion to Dismiss (Docket No. 23) be deemed withdrawn and that said 

motions can be re-filed should this case not resolve at the settlement conference.
