Defendant.

Case No. 13-CV-02390-LHK 

ORDER DENYING JOINT REQUEST 

FOR CONTINUANCE OF JOINT 

PRETRIAL CONFERENCE AND 

CERTAIN PRETRIAL DATES

Re: Dkt. No. 239

Before the Court is a Joint Status Report Regarding Mediation and Request for 

Continuance of Joint Pretrial Conference and Certain Pretrial Dates. ECF No. 239. The parties 

assert that they have both accepted the terms of Judge Larson’s settlement proposal. Id. at 2. 

Further, “[t]he Parties have exchanged draft settlement agreements and can report that they have 

agreement on the financial terms and most, but not all, of the non-financial terms.” Id. The 

parties further expressed their belief that “a settlement will [likely] be final by the time of the 

currently scheduled Pretrial Conference on July 2, 2015.” Id. The parties further request that this 

Court defer ruling on all pending motions and that all deadlines prior to July 2, 2015, be continued 

to July 27, 2015. Id.

Because the case must progress expeditiously before the July 2, 2015 Pretrial Conference, 

unless and until the parties file a joint stipulation of dismissal the case will proceed on the 

previously-set schedule. As soon as the parties have resolved their dispute, they may file a joint 

stipulation of dismissal which expressly conditions such dismissal upon the Court entering an 

order retaining jurisdiction to enforce the terms of the settlement agreement. In the absence of a 

joint stipulation of dismissal, all previously-set deadlines remain as set. According, the parties’ 

joint request is DENIED.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
