UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

CYNTHIA HOPSON,

Plaintiff,

v.

DELTA MARINE SERVICES, 

INCORPORATED, et al.,

Defendants.

No. 2:15-cv-2043-KJN

ORDER

On March 3, 2016, upon the consent of all parties, this ADA action was referred to the 

undersigned for all further proceedings, including the entry of final judgment. (ECF No. 10.) In 

an attempt to avoid the accumulation of attorneys’ fees through potentially unnecessary discovery 

and motion practice, the court finds it appropriate to temporarily stay and refer the action for an 

early settlement conference before another magistrate judge.

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. The Clerk of Court shall randomly assign another United States Magistrate Judge to 

this case for the limited purpose of conducting a settlement conference. 

2. Upon assignment of a settlement judge, the parties shall contact the courtroom deputy 

clerk of the settlement judge to make arrangements for the scheduling of the 

settlement conference.

3. If the case does not settle at the settlement conference, the parties shall file an updated 

joint status report within fourteen (14) days of the settlement conference.

4. This case is temporarily STAYED until further order of the court. Nevertheless, the 

parties are free to informally exchange any discovery and information needed to 

prepare for the settlement conference.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
