Civil No.08cv1186 BTM (AJB)

REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION OF

DISMISSAL RE: PLAINTIFFS’ ACTION

The Court set a Order to Show Cause re: Dismissal for January 29, 2011 at 1:30 p.m. Plaintiffs

Carl Benson and David Jackson were ordered to appear in person to show cause why the case should not

be dismissed in light of the execution of an agreed settlement in the case. The case was previously

settled, settlement agreement signed and consideration paid. Unfortunately, the plaintiffs did not file a

joint motion to dismiss and avoided all contacts by defense counsel to achieve the signing and the filing

of that document closing the case. 

Plaintiffs Benson and Jackson were served in the normal course as they have throughout the

case. Neither Mr. Benson nor Mr. Jackson appeared at the hearing or made any contact with the Court

with regard to this issue. Both were warned that a failure to appear at the Settlement Disposition

Conference, would be the basis for the filing of a Report and Recommendation re: dismissal of the

action. It should be noted that this was all prompted by a failure to appear previously and it is clear that

the plaintiffs, having received settlement consideration, are no longer attending to the requirements of

the Court with regard to this case.
