Case No.: 1:11-cv-00981 JLT
ORDER GRANTING STIPULATION FOR AN
EXTENSION OF TIME TO FILE THE REQUEST
FOR DISMISSAL
(Docs. 52, 53)

16
17

Before the Court is the stipulation of the parties seeking an extension of time within which they

18

will file the request for dismissal in this matter. (Docs. 52, 53) They report that the settlement check

19

has not yet been issued by the State Controller but provide no guidance as to when this will occur. Id.

20

They explain only that “state procedures” have been the impediment. Id. at 2. Notably, the Court had

21

granted three months for the dismissal to be filed when it issued its order after notice of settlement

22

which is an inordinate amount of time. (Doc. 52) Nevertheless, the court is aware that often Deputies

23

Attorney General have reported that it takes six months to process a settlement check though the exact

24

reason why the State Controller cannot process a payment more expeditiously has yet to be explained.

25

In any event, the Court will GRANT the stipulation as follows:

26

1.

No later than October 17, 2014, the request for dismissal SHALL be filed.

No further extensions of time will be granted absent a showing of exceptional good cause. Failure

2

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

3

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