SAN JOSE DIVISION

Jill Arbanas,

ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE RE:

SETTLEMENT

On July 3, 2006, the Court received a letter from counsel for the Defendants, informing the

Court that pursuant to the Court's April 5, 2006 Order, Metlife has completed the claim

determination on remand and has determined that Plaintiff is entitled to long term disability benefits. 

The Court treats this as a notice of settlement in this case. Accordingly, the Court vacates all trial

and pretrial dates. On or before August 28, 2006, the parties shall file a stipulated dismissal

pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(a). 

If a dismissal is not filed by the specified date, all parties shall appear in Courtroom No. 8,

4th Floor, United States District Court, 280 South First Street, San Jose, Ca. on Monday,

September 11, 2006 at 9:00 a.m., and to show cause, if any, why the case should not be dismissed

pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(b). On or before September 5, 2006, the parties shall file a joint

statement in response to the Order to Show Cause. The joint statement shall set forth the status of

the activities of the parties for finalizing the settlement and how much additional time is requested to

finalize and file the dismissal. If a voluntary dismissal is filed as ordered, the Order to Show Cause

hearing will be automatically vacated.
