UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

MATTHEW LIANG,

Plaintiff,

CASE NO. 06cv1082-LAB (WMc)

ORDER

vs.

CAL-BAY INTERNATIONAL, INC., et al.,

Defendant.

On May 8, 2007, the Court received a written request from counsel to continue the Case

Management/Settlement Conference currently scheduled for May 11, 2007. According to counsel 

of record for plaintiff, “[w]e are attempting to exchange discovery so that meaningful settlement

negotiations are possible.” Therefore, for good cause shown, the Court issues the following Order:

1. A Case Management/Settlement Conference (“CMC/SC”) will be held on June 20, 2007

at 9:00 a.m. Counsel and parties with full settlement authority are ordered to appear on at in the

chambers of United States Magistrate Judge William McCurine, Jr., 940 Front Street, Courtroom

C, San Diego, California, 92101, for a Case Management Conference pursuant to Federal Rule of

Civil Procedure 16(b). Full authority to settle means that the individual present at the

settlement conference has the unfettered discretion and authority to: 1) fully explore

settlement options and to agree at that time to any settlement options; 2) agree at that time to

any settlement terms acceptable to the parties; 3) change the settlement position of a party;

and 4) negotiate monetary awards without being restricted to a specific sum certain.

Counsel shall be prepared to discuss the weaknesses of their case; why settlement is necessary,

and effect unless otherwise ordered by the Court.
