On May 22, 2006, Plaintiff filed a Notice of Settlement in

which he states “the parties have settled this action” and

“[d]ispositional documents will be filed within (20) calendar days.”

Therefore, a dispositional document shall be filed no later than 

June 12, 2006. 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 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). 

2

The status conference scheduled for June 5, 2006, is reset

for hearing on August 28, 2006, in the event that no dispositional

document is filed, or if this action is not otherwise dismissed.

Further, a joint status report shall be filed fourteen days prior to

the status conference.1

IT IS SO ORDERED.
