ORDER NO. 2:14-CV-01859-MCE-DAD

dismiss this action with prejudice on Friday, January 9, 2015. Id. Thereafter, the parties request 

that the Court retain jurisdiction over the parties and the subject matter of this action until 

September 18, 2015 to resolve any disputes that may arise.

Upon consideration of the parties’ join stipulation, this matter is STAYED until Monday, 

January 12, 2015. Thereafter, on or before Friday, January 16, 2015, the parties are ORDERED 

to submit a joint stipulation to dismiss the matter with prejudice accompanied by a proposed 

order.

1

 In the alternative, if it is either party’s contention that dismissal without prejudice is not 

warranted after the automatic lifting of the stay on Monday, January 12, 2015, the parties are 

ORDERED to submit a Joint Status Report on or before Friday, January 16, 2015 informing the 

Court of the status of the case and whether further proceedings, if any, are warranted. Failure to 

comply with this order by failing to submit either a joint stipulation for dismissal or a Joint Status 

Report on or before Friday, January 16, 2015 may be grounds for the imposition of sanctions on 

any and all counsel as well as any party or parties who cause non-compliance with this order 

without any further notice to the parties or counsel.2

 IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: 

 1

 The parties are reminded that pursuant to Local Rule 137(b), in addition to filing the PDF version of the

proposed order via the CM/ECF system, they are also required to email the proposed order (in Microsoft Word) to 

chambers (mceorders@caed.uscourts.gov).

2 In the event that the parties submit a stipulation dismissing the matter with prejudice, the parties may again 

request that the Court reserve jurisdiction to enforce the provisions of the parties’ settlement agreement and/or 

resolve any and all disputes arising out of such agreement. However, the parties are cautioned that the Court may 

only do so to the extent permitted in this Circuit. See Keeling v. Sheet Metal Workers Int'l Ass'n, Local Union 162, 

937 F.2d 408, 410 (9th Cir. 1991); compare Delay v. Gordon, 475 F.3d 1039, 1044-45, n. 11 (9th Cir. 2007) with In 

re Hunter, 66 F.3d 1002, 1006 (9th Cir. 1995).
