On December 11, 2006, Plaintiff filed a Notice of Settlement

in which he states “the parties have settled this action” and

“[d]ispositional documents will be filed within (20) calendar days.”

Therefore, a dispositional document shall be filed no later than 

January 2, 2007. Failure to respond by this deadline may be construed

as consent to dismissal of this action without prejudice, and a

dismissal order could be filed. See L.R. 16-160(b) (“A failure to

file dispositional papers on the date prescribed by the Court may be

grounds for sanctions.”).

The status conference will remain on calendar, because 1

the mere representation that an action has been settled does not

justify removal of the action from a district court’s trial

docket. Cf. Callie v. Near, 829 F.2d 888, 890 (9th Cir. 1987)

(indicating that a representation that claims have been settled

does not necessarily establish the existence of a binding

settlement agreement). 

2

The status conference scheduled for December 18, 2006, is

reset for hearing on February 12, 2007, in the event that no

dispositional document is filed, or if this action is not otherwise

dismissed. Further, a joint status report shall be filed fourteen

days prior to the status conference.1

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Date: December 11, 2006
