Plaintiff,

v.

Defendants.

Case No. 13-cv-00405-RS 

ORDER RELIEVING COUNSEL, AND 

CONTINUING HEARING ON ORDER 

TO SHOW CAUSE

1. Attorney James M. Finberg, of Altshuler Berzon, LLP, was appointed for the limited 

purpose of representing plaintiff at mediation. The mediation resulted in a settlement. Good 

cause appearing, Feinberg and the Altshuler firm are relieved from any further obligation to 

represent plaintiff herein.

2. Defendant has filed a motion to enforce the settlement agreement, asserting that it has 

fully performed its obligations thereunder, but that plaintiff has refused to dismiss the action 

unless defendant complies with certain other demands, not set out in the settlement agreement. 

That motion is set for hearing on June 16, 2016. Plaintiff filed no opposition to that motion, and 

the deadline for doing so has expired.

3. In light of the settlement, an order previously issued requiring the parties to file a 

stipulation of dismissal no later May 23, 2016, or to appear on May 26, 2016 and show cause why 

the matter should not be dismissed.

4. To avoid any uncertainty, and in the interest of judicial efficiency, the hearing on the
