On March 18, 2008, 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

April 7, 2008. 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 scheduled for April 28, 2008, will

remain on calendar, in the event that no dispositional document is

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).

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.
