Plaintiff Gregory Williams (“Plaintiff”) filed this civil rights action on October 22, 2010

19

pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. On August 28, 2013, a settlement conference was held

20

before Magistrate Judge Stanley A. Boone. Settlement was reached, terms and conditions

21

of settlement were placed on the record, and pending dates were vacated. (ECF No. 88.)

22

The parties were ordered to disburse settlement payments within two weeks and file

23

dispositive documents with the Court seven days thereafter. (Id.) The September 18, 2013

24

deadline to file dispositive documents has passed without such documents, or a request for

25

extension of time, being filed.

26

A failure to file dispositional documents on the date prescribed by the Court may be

27

grounds for sanctions. Fed. R. Civ. P. 11, 16; Local Rules 110, 160. Here the parties have

28

not responded to the Court ordered deadline for filing dispositional documents.
