Defendant. )

)

On April 24, 2007, the parties submitted a Notice of

Settlement in which they state that they “have reached a

conditional settlement resolving all claims in the action” and that

“performance is anticipated to occur on or before May 1, 2007.” 

Accordingly, the parties have until May 21, 2007 to file a

dispositional document or a joint status report. 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.”).

Although the parties request that all of the dates in the 1

Pretrial Scheduling Order be vacated, the remaining dates in that

Order will not be vacated because 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).

Further, the Rule 26(a)(2) initial expert witness

disclosure deadline is continued to June 7, 2007 and the rebuttal

expert disclosure deadline is continued to July 6, 2007.1

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: April 30, 2007
