Pursuant to the Court’s April 1, 2014 Order, the parties to this matter, filed confidential

21 settlement conference statements in anticipation of the Court’s settlement conference set for April 29,
22 2014. Plaintiffs submitted a confidential settlement conference statement wherein Plaintiffs’
23 explained that based on several mediations and subsequent communications between the parties, a
24 global settlement of this case has been reached in principle. As a good faith attempt to finalize
25 settlement, Plaintiffs however request a thirty day continuance of the settlement conference in order to
26 finalize lingering issues with the mediator.
27

In light of the settlement posture of this case, the Court is inclined to continue the settlement

28 conference, but will entertain any objections to a continuance on a shortened schedule. Accordingly,
no later than Friday, April 25, 2014 at 3:00 P.M., Defendants shall submit directly to Judge

1 McAuliffe’s chambers at [e-mail], oppositions, if any, to Plaintiffs’ request for
2 a thirty-day continuance of the settlement conference initially set for Tuesday, April 29, 2014.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
