Plaintiff,

v.

Case No.16-cv-07413-VKD 

ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE RE 

SETTLEMENT

The Court having been informed that the parties have agreed to a settlement, all previously 

scheduled deadlines and appearances are VACATED.

On or before May 28, 2019, plaintiff shall file a voluntary dismissal pursuant to Fed. R.

order (i) by notice if the defendants have not filed an answer or motion for summary judgment, or 

(ii) by stipulation signed by all parties who have appeared. Because defendant has not yet filed an 

answer or motion for summary judgment, plaintiff may file a notice of dismissal pursuant to Rule 

41(a)(1)(i).

If a dismissal is not filed by the specified date, then the parties shall appear in Courtroom 

2, 5th Floor, 280 South First Street, San Jose, California on June 11, 2019, 10:00 a.m. and show

Additionally, the parties shall file a statement in response to this Order to Show Cause no later 

than June 4, 2019 advising as to (1) the status of the activities of the parties in finalizing 

settlement; and (2) how much additional time, if any, is requested to finalize the settlement and 

file the dismissal. If a dismissal is filed as ordered, the Order to Show Cause hearing will be
