UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

EARNEST CASSELL WOODS, II, 

Plaintiff, 

v. 

TOM L. CAREY, et al., 

Defendants. 

No. 2:04-cv-1225 MCE AC P 

ORDER 

 The undersigned conducted a settlement conference in this case on August 20, 2015, 

during which an agreement was reached by the parties. ECF No. 352. Defendant has filed a 

motion to enforce the settlement agreement (ECF No. 353) which plaintiff has opposed (ECF No. 

360). A telephonic hearing on the motion was held on October 14, 2015. After hearing argument 

on the motion, the court determined that additional information was needed regarding the ability 

to effect payment in accordance with the agreement in light of the third-party beneficiary’s 

refusal to complete the necessary payee forms. Another hearing has been set for November 4, 

2015, at 1:30 p.m. before the undersigned at the Robert T. Matsui Federal Courthouse, 801 I 

Street, Courtroom 26, Sacramento, CA 95814. Plaintiff shall appear telephonically and counsel 

for defendant and an individual with authority to make decisions regarding the form of payment 

for the settlement amount shall appear in person. A separate order and writ of habeas corpus ad 

testificandum will issue to provide for plaintiff’s telephonic appearance.
