NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

SAN JOSE DIVISION

SHELBY GAIL HEIFETZ,

Plaintiff,

v.

VALERIE J. MACKEN, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 19-cv-04081-VKD 

ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE RE 

SETTLEMENT

The Court having been informed that the parties have settled the dispute between them, all 

previously scheduled deadlines and appearances are VACATED. 

On or before May 1, 2020, plaintiff Shelby Heifetz shall file a stipulated dismissal 

pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(a)(1)(ii) as to defendant Jose Camiro Hernandez. Rule 41(a)(1) 

permits a plaintiff to voluntarily dismiss a case without a court order (i) by notice if the defendant 

has not filed an answer or motion for summary judgment, or (ii) by stipulation signed by all 

parties who have appeared. Because Mr. Hernandez has filed an answer, Ms. Heifetz must file a 

stipulated dismissal pursuant to Rule 41(a)(1)(ii). 

On or before May 1, 2020, Ms. Heifetz shall either file a voluntary dismissal of her claims 

against defendant Valerie J. Macken pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(a)(1)(i), or a stipulated 

dismissal pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(a)(1)(ii). Because Ms. Macken has not responded to the 

complaint, Ms. Heifetz may file a notice of dismissal pursuant to Rule 41(a)(1)(i). Alternatively, 

because Ms. Macken has waived service of summons and appeared (Dkt. Nos. 22, 27), Ms. 

Heifetz may file a stipulated dismissal pursuant to Rule 41(a)(1)(ii).

If dismissals are not filed by the specified date, then the parties shall appear in Courtroom

2, Fifth Floor, 280 South First Street, San Jose, California on May 12, 2020, 10:00 a.m. and show

cause, if any, why the case should not be dismissed pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(a). 

Additionally, the parties shall file a statement in response to this Order to Show Cause no later 

than May 5, 2020 explaining why the dismissal have not been filed. If dismissals are filed as 

ordered, the Order to Show Cause hearing will be automatically vacated and the parties need not 

file a statement in response to this Order.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
