Case No. 1:13-cv-01940 LJO-MJS

STIPULATION TO CHANGE 

SETTLEMENT CONFERENCE; ORDER

Plaintiffs Cecil Hamilton and Dianne Hamilton (“Plaintiffs”), and Defendant United States

(“Defendant”), (collectively “the parties”), stipulate, by and through the undersigned counsel, to 

schedule a settlement conference with a magistrate judge.

Per the Amended Scheduling Order, no settlement conference was originally scheduled. The 

parties hereby stipulate that a settlement conference be heard before the Honorable Barbara A. 

McAuliffe on September 17, 2015 at 9:30 a.m. The parties submit that good cause exists to use 

Magistrate Judge McAuliffe as the parties anticipate that if this matter does not settle at the 

settlement conference, they anticipate discovery issues which will then need to be heard by the 

Honorable Michael J. Seng, the Magistrate Judge assigned to this matter. Out of an abundance of 

caution, the parties request the settlement conference be heard before the Honorable Barbara A. 

McAuliffe.
