UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

KG FUNDING, INC.,

Plaintiff,

v.

TIM PARTRIDGE, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 13-cv-02473-MEJ 

ORDER RE: SETTLEMENT 

REFERRAL

Re: Dkt. No. 46

On July 24, 2015, the Court granted the parties’ request to refer this matter to another 

magistrate for a settlement conference, and the case was subsequently referred to Magistrate Judge 

Elizabeth D. Laporte. Dkt. No. 81. As the parties were unable to attend a conference before the 

deadline for filing dispositive motions, on August 26, 2015, the Court granted the parties’ request 

to continue all pretrial and trial deadlines. Dkt. No. 83. The Court granted a second continuance 

on October 29, 2015. Dkt. No. 86. As part of its October 29 Order, the Court directed the parties 

to contact Judge Laporte’s chambers and thereafter file a status report regarding scheduling. As of 

today’s date, the parties have not filed a status report and no conference has been scheduled. At 

the same, time, the December 14, 2015 dispositive motion deadline is approaching and 

Defendant/Counter-Claimant Tim Partridge has filed an Application for Writ of Possession. See

Dkt. Nos. 83, 88. Accordingly, the Court hereby VACATES all pending non-discovery-related 

pretrial and trial deadlines. The parties shall contact Judge Laporte’s chambers immediately to 

schedule a settlement conference. As to Mr. Patridge’s application, there appears to be no urgency 

for the issuance of a writ. Moreover, Mr. Partridge fails to address the parties’ 2014 settlement 

agreement, which could affect whether an enforceable contract still exists. Accordingly, the Court 

DENIES Mr. Partridge’s Motion WITHOUT PREJUDICE. The parties shall file a joint status 

report within 14 days of completion of the mediation process.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
