DELPHINE ALLEN, et al.,

Plaintiffs,

CITY OF OAKLAND, et al.,

Defendants.

MASTER CASE FILE

NO. C00-4599 TEH 

ORDER SETTING STATUS

CONFERENCE

This matter was previously scheduled for a status conference on September 13, 2007. 

However, the Court vacated that status conference on August 10, 2007, because it found that

such a conference would not be productive when so much uncertainty remained concerning

the monitoring contract for the two-year extension period of the Negotiated Settlement

Agreement (“NSA”).

The Independent Monitoring Team (“IMT”) and counsel for the City of Oakland

(“City”) have informed the Court that agreement on the terms of such a contract, including

compensation and the scope of work, has now been finalized. The Court further understands

that the agreement will be presented to the City Council and recommended for approval in

December 2007.

The Court is pleased that the IMT and the City were able to reach agreement on a new

contract, which will ensure continuity of the monitoring and reform efforts contained in the

NSA. In addition, the Court acknowledges and appreciates the significant time and energy

expended by Magistrate Judge James Larson in conducting settlement discussions between

the IMT and the City.

Now that agreement has been reached on the monitoring contract for the extension

period, the parties and the IMT can return their full attention to the City’s compliance efforts. 

The parties shall meet and confer and file a joint status statement on or before Friday,

November 16, 2007, and shall appear for a status conference on Tuesday, November 27,

2007, at 10:30 AM, to discuss these efforts with the Court.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
