UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

MICHAEL BRESCIONE

Plaintiff,

v

CUNA BROKERAGE SERVICES,

Defendant.

Case No. 1:16-cv-00467-DAD-SKO

ORDER FOLLOWING SETTLEMENT,

DISCHARGING ORDER TO SHOW 

CAUSE, VACATING DATES, AND 

DIRECTING PARTIES TO FILE 

DISPOSITIVE DOCUMENTS 

TWENTY-ONE DAY DEADLINE

A settlement conference was set in this action on November 14, 2016 and the parties 

were to submit confidential settlement conference statements seven days prior to the scheduled 

conference. On November 8, 2016, an order issued requiring Plaintiff to submit a confidential 

settlement statement and show cause why sanctions should not issue for the failure to submit a 

confidential statement in compliance with the scheduling order. On November 10, 2016, 

Plaintiff submitted the confidential settlement statement. On November 14, 2016, this Court 

conducted a settlement conference in this action. During the settlement conference, the parties 

reached a settlement agreement. 

The Court notes that Plaintiff did subsequently comply by submitting a confidential 

settlement statement, but did not comply with the order requiring him to show cause why 

sanctions should not issue for the failure to comply with the scheduling order. The Court shall 

discharge the order to show cause on this occasion, however counsel is advised that orders of this

Court are not mere suggestions which the parties may choose to follow or not. The parties are 

required to familiarize themselves with and comply with the Local Rules and all the orders 

issued in the action. Issuing orders to show cause are an unnecessary function for a Court and are 

not done simply as a reminder. The “reminder” occurred when the original order was issued 

setting forth the dates and obligations of the parties for the settlement conference. When an 

order issues requiring the party to show cause in writing, a written response needs to be filed in 

this action for the Court to address.

Based upon the settlement of this action, it is HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. The order to show cause issued November 8, 2016 is DISCHARGED;

2. All pending matters and dates in this action are VACATED; and

3. Settlement documents shall be filed within twenty-one (21) days from the date of 

service of this order;

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: November 14, 2016
