ORDER FOLLOWING INITIAL CASE

MANAGEMENT CONFERENCE

On July 22, 2008, the parties appeared for an Initial Case Management Conference.

On the record during the Conference, the parties indicated that they were amenable to

attempting to resolve this action through mediation. Accordingly, the Court decided to defer

setting a trial date until after the parties have attended the mediation and encouraged the

parties to use the time leading up to the mediation to undertake whatever surgical discovery

each side believes is necessary to have a productive mediation. 

The parties have agreed to schedule a private mediation with Mr. Chris Lavdiotis in

early January, 2009. 

If during the surgical discovery process, or at any time before the mediation, the

parties have a disagreement that they are unable to resolve through the meet and confer

process, counsel must call (510) 637-3324 to arrange a telephone conference with the

undersigned. 

If the parties are not able to resolve the case through mediation, they must appear

before the undersigned on Wednesday, February 4, 2009, at 3:00 p.m., for a further case

management conference during which the Court will set a trial date. Counsel may appear by

telephone for the conference by notifying the undersigned's administrative law clerk at least

two days before the hearing at (510) 637-3324. By no later than Monday, January 30,

2009, the parties must electronically file a Further Joint Case Management Statement that

describes the discovery that has taken place and suggests a specific case development plan

and schedule. The parties must not include in this Statement any information about the

substance of their settlement negotiations. 

If the matter settles before February 4, 2009, the parties must promptly prepare and

file dismissal papers and notify the Court by calling (510) 637-3324.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
