and Request to Vacate Trial Date, notifying the court “that the

parties have reached an agreement to settle this action” and

“request[ing] that the Court vacate the May 15, 2007 trial date.” 

(Notice at 2.) Defendants further state that they “anticipate that

they will be able to comply with the terms of the settlement within

180 days and will file a Stipulation for Dismissal at that time.” 

(Id.) Therefore, a dispositional document shall be filed no later

than October 13, 2007. Failure to respond by this deadline may be

construed as consent to dismissal of this action without prejudice,

and a dismissal order could be filed. See L.R. 16-160(b) (“A failure

A status conference is scheduled because the mere 1

representation that an action has been settled does not justify removal

of the action from a district court’s docket. Cf. Callie v. Near, 829

F.2d 888, 890 (9th Cir. 1987) (indicating that a representation that

claims have been settled does not necessarily establish the existence of

a binding settlement agreement).

be grounds for sanctions.”).

The May 15, 2007 trial date is vacated. A status conference

is scheduled to commence at 9:00 a.m. on November 26, 2007. A joint 1

status report shall be filed fourteen days before the status

conference.

Dated: April 17, 2007
