UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

RONALD MOORE,

Plaintiff,

v.

JAIME MARQUEZ, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 1:15-cv-00385-SAB

ORDER VACATING SETTLEMENT 

CONFERENCE AND REQUIRING 

DEFENDANTS TO SHOW CAUSE WHY 

SANCTIONS SHOULD NOT ISSUE FOR 

THE FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THE 

ORDER RE SETTLEMENT CONFERENCE

TEN DAY DEADLINE

A settlement conference in this action is set for October 22, 2015, at 10:00 a.m. before 

the undersigned. (ECF No. 24.) Pursuant to the Order re Settlement Conference, (ECF No. 25),

the parties were required to submit a confidential settlement statement to the Court no later than 

five (5) business days before the conference. The Court has timely received the confidential 

statement from Plaintiff, however no statement has been received from Defendants. This Court 

spends considerable time preparing for settlement conference so as to make it meaningful to the 

parties and results in a greater likelihood of settlement success. Settlement is very important in 

this district where the judges have one of the highest caseloads per judge in the United States. 

The settlement conference statement assists the Court in adequately preparing for these matters. 

They are not pro forma. 

Since Defendants have failed to comply with the order requiring the confidential

settlement statement to be submitted to the Court, the October 22, 2015, settlement conference 

shall be vacated. Should the parties desire another settlement conference date, they shall confer 

and contact the courtroom deputy with available dates. However, no settlement conference shall 

be set until Defendants submit a meaningful confidential settlement statement to the Court.

meaningful settlement conference statement by Defendants and at a time 

convenient to all parties and the Court; and

3. Within 10 days from the date of service of this order, Defendants Jaime Marquez 

and Maghar Singh shall show cause in writing why sanctions should not issue for 

the failure to comply with the September 8, 2015, Order re Settlement 

Conference.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
