On October 17, 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 

November 6, 2006. 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

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).

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

be grounds for sanctions.”).

The status conference scheduled for January 16, 2007, will

remain on calendar 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.
