UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

On February 3, 2014, counsel filed a joint request that the settlement conference, set on 

February 14, 2014, be vacated. (Doc. 44) Counsel report that until expert discovery is completed, they 

are not able to properly evaluate the case and are not prepared to talk about settlement. Id. at 2. 

Therefore, good cause appearing, the Court GRANTS the stipulation and VACATES the 

settlement conference. If, in the future, counsel believe that a settlement conference would be fruitful, 

they may file a joint request for the Court to schedule a settlement conference. Alternatively, they 

may request to be referred to the Court’s VDRP (L.R. 271) which will result in a mediation being 

scheduled in this area with a volunteer neutral.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: February 4, 2014 /s/ Jennifer L. Thurston
