IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

ELEM INDIAN COLONY OF POMO

INDIANS OF THE SULPHUR BANK

RANCHERIA, a federally recognized

Indian tribe,

Plaintiff,

 v.

CEIBA LEGAL, LLP, et al.,

Defendants. /

No. C 16-03081 WHA

ORDER DENYING STIPULATED

REQUEST FOR SETTLEMENT

CONFERENCE

On October 13, the parties filed a stipulated request for an order mandating a

“Settlement Conference for members of the groups acting as the Garcia Faction and Brown

Faction Executive Committees” before Judge Vadas. The parties also requested that the order

require “a list of core issues” to be submitted to the Court. The conference and list of issues are

measures to facilitate settlement that the parties, in consultation with Judge Vadas, had

previously agreed upon (Dkt. No. 58 at 2).

Although the Court is sympathetic to the idea of getting both factions together in a

settlement conference, the Court can only order actual parties properly before it to join in these

proceedings. Accordingly, the parties’ stipulated request is DENIED.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: October 18, 2016.
