ORDER FOLLOWING INITIAL CASE

MANAGEMENT CONFERENCE

 

 

On September 27, 2005, the Court conducted an Initial Case Management Conference

in the above-referenced case. For reasons articulated more thoroughly on the record, the

Court ORDERS as follows:

1. By December 16, 2005, the parties must have taken the steps they believe are

necessary to position the case for substantial settlement negotiations. Toward this end, the

Court encourages the parties to make additional disclosures, to share or develop information

informally (e.g., through joint interviews of key witnesses), and to schedule and complete any

'core' discovery that is a necessary predicate for making reasonable settlement decisions. As

the parties have agreed to limit their discovery during the first stage of the proceedings to

information essential to meaningful settlement negotiations, the court preserves the parties'

full discovery and motion practice rights (should occasion arise later in the pretrial period to

exercise those rights).

 If counsel have not received this list within two weeks of the date of the Initial Case

Management Conference, they must contact Howard Herman of the ADR Department.

2. This matter is referred to the ADR Department for a mediation. The Court

requests that the ADR Department generate and distribute to the parties a list of five neutrals

with employment litigation expertise.1 The parties will then jointly select a neutral from this

list to conduct their mediation. If the parties are unable, after meeting and conferring in good

faith, to select a neutral from this list, they are permitted to contact the undersigned's

chambers and request that a telephonic conference call be scheduled to discuss the matter.

3. The Court requests that the mediator ultimately selected by the parties conduct a

mediation during the latter half of the month of December or the first half of the month

of January.

4. By January 30, 2006, at noon, the parties must meet and confer and file a joint

Case Management Conference Statement. The statement must, at a minimum, contain the

parties' proposed "stage two" discovery plan, proposed motion practice (if any), including

anticipated dates for any proposed motions, and the parties' preference for the month in

which trial should be held.

5. On February 2, 2006, at 1:30 p.m., the Court will hold a telephonic further Case

Management Conference. Plaintiff's counsel must initiate the telephonic conference call, get

defense counsel on the line, then call the Court's conference call line at (510) 637-3326.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
