THE HONORABLE JOHN D. ROBERTS, United States Magistrate Judge

MINUTE ORDER FROM CHAMBERS
RE: Status Report
The Intervenor, City and Borough of Yakutat (CBY) filed a Motion for Summary
Judgment at Docket 196. The court granted several continuances to the deadline for a Reply to
the Motion after the parties made the court aware that they were nearing a settlement. CBY filed
their Reply Memorandum at Docket 213 and noted that counsel for the Plaintiff notified CBY that
the Plaintiff and the Defendant had reached a settlement.1 There is no notice regarding
settlement on file with the court.

The Motion for Summary Judgment is now ripe for a

recommendation from the magistrate judge. Prior to issuing a recommendation, the court seeks
an update from the Plaintiff as to the status of settlement negotiations. Therefore, the Plaintiff,
the Estate of Jerry L. Byler, shall file a status report as to settlement or a notice of
settlement by close of business on October 7, 2011.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
Entered at the direction of the Honorable John D. Roberts, United States Magistrate Judge
