Civil No. 04cv2133-LAB (BLM)

ORDER GRANTING IN PART JOINT

MOTION TO VACATE ALL UPCOMING

DATES AND CONTINUING THE

MANDATORY SETTLEMENT

CONFERENCE

[Doc. No. 128]

On August 6, 2007, the parties filed a joint motion to vacate

all upcoming dates in light of Plaintiff’s pending motion for leave

to file a third amended complaint, Defendant’s pending motion for

summary judgment, and Plaintiff’s ex parte application for leave to

file a discovery motion related to the summary judgment motion.

Doc. No. 128. The parties contend that because the outcome of these

motions may impact whether particular causes of action and issues

will be at issue at the time of trial and whether certain evidence

will be excluded, judicial economy favors vacating all pending dates

until the motions and application are decided. Id.

As set forth in the parties’ joint motion, the parties seek

to vacate the deadlines for pretrial disclosures, objections to

pretrial disclosures, the meet and confer action required by Local

Rule 16.1(f)(4), and the lodging of the pretrial conference order.

Id. The parties also request that the Court vacate the mandatory

settlement conference and the final pretrial conference. Id. The
