UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

WAYNE J. ROBERTSON, 

Plaintiff, 

v. 

W. STRUFFERT, et al., 

Defendants. 

Case No. 12-cv-04698-JSW 

ORDER RE CASE STATUS 

On October 28, 2015, a minute entry for settlement conference proceedings in this matter 

indicated that the matter had settled. However, this case remains pending, and the pretrial 

conference remains on calendar for December 7, 2015. 

The parties are reminded that they must comply with the standing orders of the 

undersigned, including the Guidelines for Trial and Final Pretrial Conference in Civil Jury Cases 

Before the Honorable Jeffrey S. White. Under these Guidelines, the parties’ pretrial filings are 

due fourteen days in advance of the final pretrial conference, which, in this case, means that the 

pretrial filings are due Monday, November 23, 2015. 

The parties also are reminded that paragraphs 44 and 45 of these same Guidelines provide 

as follows: 

44. Shortly before trial or the final pretrial conference, counsel 

occasionally wish jointly to advise the Court or the Courtroom 

Deputy Clerk that a settlement has been reached and to take the 

pretrial conference or trial off calendar. Cases cannot be taken off 

calendar in this manner. Unless and until a stipulated dismissal or 

judgment is filed or placed on the record, all parties must be 

prepared to proceed with the final pretrial conference as scheduled 

and to proceed to trial on the trial date, or face dismissal of the case 

for lack of prosecution or entry of default judgment. Only an 

advance continuance expressly approved by the Court will release 

counsel and the parties from their obligation to proceed. If counsel 

expect that a settlement will be final by the time of trial or the final 

pretrial conference, they should notify the Court immediately in
