Before the Court is the stipulation, filed September 13, 2011, in which the parties report that they

20

have come to a tentative agreement to settle the matter. (Doc. 34 at 1) However, final settlement has not

21

been achieved due to Plaintiff’s recent release from prison and the greater difficulty this places on

22

counsel to obtain Plaintiff’s signature on the settlement documents. Id.

23

Nevertheless, the parties report that they anticipate that the matter will be dismissed within 30

24

to 45 days. (Doc. 34 at 2) The parties request a continuance of the currently scheduled settlement

25

conference for 60 days. Id. In light of the information provided, the Court orders as follows:

26

1.

The settlement conference set on September 22, 2011, is VACATED;

27

2.

Within 60, the parties SHALL file a stipulated request for dismissal of the entire action;

28

Failure to comply with this order may be grounds for the imposition of sanctions on counsel or parties

who contributed to violation of this order. See Local Rules 110, 160 and 272
