Case No.: C 08-5296 PVT

ORDER TO DEFENDANT TO FILE REVISED

OPPOSITION PAPERS THAT DO NOT

DISCLOSE CONFIDENTIAL SETTLEMENT

NEGOTIATIONS; AND

ORDER CONTINUING ALL HEARINGS TO

JULY 20, 2010

The court is informed by chambers staff that on June 8, 2010, Defendant filed opposition

papers that disclose a position taken by Plaintiff Van regarding settlement. Therefore,

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that no later than June 29, 2010, Defendant shall file revised

opposition papers that do not disclose the any position taken by Plaintiff Van regarding settlement. 

It is generally improper to disclose any position taken during settlement negotiations, particularly to

the assigned judge. See, e.g., ADR LR 6-12(a)(2) & 7-5(a)(2). If Defendant believes disclosure of

Plaintiff Van’s position regarding settlement is necessary to their opposition to the sanctions motion,

Defendant shall serve and file a declaration explaining why the information is necessary (without

disclosing the actual substance of the information).

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that, based on the stay previously ordered herein, and on the

court’s own scheduling needs, the hearings on all pending motions in this matter are CONTINUED

to 10:00 a.m. on July 20, 2010.

Dated: 6/21/10
