JOINT CASE MANAGEMENT STATEMENT- C-004-00047 JW

MARIA RODRIGUEZ DE TORRES, and Defendant D’ARRIGO BROS. CO., OF

CALIFORNIA hereby submit the following Joint Case Management Statement. 

In May 2004, the parties submitted a Joint Case Management Statement addressing all of

the topical areas required by the Court’s Standing Order, and Rule 16-9.

On March 3, 2008, the Court ordered the parties, within 10 days following their Settlement

Conference, to update the Court regarding the case status by filing a Joint Case Management

Statement. 

On March 27, 2008, a Settlement Conference was held before Magistrate Judge Wayne D.

Brazil. As a result of this Settlement Conference, the parties verbally reached a preliminary

settlement, and are exchanging written drafts of proposed settlement language consistent with

their verbal agreement on basic terms reached at the Settlement Conference. (See Magistrate

Brazil’s Civil Minute Order filed March 28, 2008.) Once a written Settlement Agreement has

been reached, the parties intend to file a request for preliminary approval by this Court.
