ORDER FOLLOWING INITIAL CASE

MANAGEMENT CONFERENCE

On September 17, 2008, the parties appeared for an Initial Case Management

Conference. In their Joint Case Management Statement and on the record during the

Conference, the parties indicated that they were amenable to attempting to resolve this action

through an early settlement conference with a Magistrate Judge. Accordingly, the Court

decided to defer setting a trial date until after the parties have attended the settlement

conference that must occur between November 15, 2008, and December 15, 2008, with

Magistrate Judge Larson. A member of Judge Larson's chambers will contact the parties

directly to set the exact date for the settlement conference. The Court encouraged the parties

to use the time leading up to the settlement conference to disclose material information and

documents to one another and to undertake any surgical discovery that is necessary to have

a productive settlement conference. 

If the parties are unable to settle the case, they must appear before the undersigned

on Tuesday, January 13, 2009, at 1:00 p.m., for a further case management conference

during which the Court will set a trial date. Counsel may appear by telephone for the

conference by notifying the undersigned's administrative law clerk at least two days before

the hearing at (510) 637-3324. By no later than Friday, January 9, 2009, at noon, the

parties must file a Further Joint Case Management Statement that describes the discovery that

has taken place and suggests a specific case development plan and schedule. The parties

must not include in this Statement any information about the substance of their settlement

negotiations. 

If the matter settles before January 13, 2009, the parties must promptly prepare and

file dismissal papers and notify the Court by calling (510) 637-3324.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
