v. ) ORDER RE: SETTLEMENT

Defendants. )

)

On August 31, 2007, Plaintiff filed a Notice of

Settlement in which he states “that the above-captioned action has

been resolved via out-of-court settlement.” Accordingly, a

dispositional document shall be filed no later than 

September 20, 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 to file dispositional papers on the date prescribed by the

Court may be grounds for sanctions.”).

The status conference scheduled for September 17, 2007,

is reset for hearing on October 29, 2007, in the event that no

dispositional document is filed, or if this action is not otherwise

The status conference will remain on calendar, because 1

the mere representation that an action has been settled does not

justify removal of the action from a district court’s trial 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).

dismissed. A joint status report shall be filed fourteen days 1

prior to the status conference.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: August 31, 2007
