______________________________/

18

This Court's October 15, 2013 order set a November 22, 2013 deadline to file papers to

19

dismiss this action or to show good cause why this action has not been dismissed. In response

20

to the order, defense counsel filed his declaration to indicate that potential liens for plaintiff's

21

medical services remain unresolved. Despite the fact that unresolved medical liens are not

22

good cause to extend dismissal of this action, this Court:

23
24
25

1.

GRANTS a one-time extension to January 10, 2014 to file papers to dismiss this

action in its entirety; and
2.

ORDERS the parties' counsel to take all necessary action to ascertain and

26

resolve potential liens for plaintiff's medical services. Based on defense counsel's declaration,

27

this Court deems plaintiff's counsel to have chief responsibility to address and resolve potential

28

liens and will tolerate no further delay to resolve potential liens.

If papers are not timely filed to dismiss this action, this Court will set trial immediately
and if necessary, before another district judge.
