In November 2014, after a bench trial in this case began, the parties indicated that they had
reached a settlement. See Doc. 83. Over a year later, because the parties had not submitted any
documents confirming their settlement and dismissing the case, the parties were instructed to file a joint
status report indicating whether they had finalized the terms of their settlement. Doc. 85. In their January
29, 2016 joint status report, the parties indicated they had not finalized their settlement. See Doc. 86.
The Court therefore ordered the parties to submit dismissal documents or, if their settlement had not
been finalized, a joint status report updating the Court on the status of the case by August 17, 2016. To
date, the parties have done neither.
Accordingly, the parties are ORDERED to show cause why this case should not be dismissed for
failure to prosecute and for the parties’ failure to obey Court orders. On or before September 30, 2016,
the parties shall file dismissal documents or a joint status report explaining why settlement has not been
completed. If the parties fail to meet this deadline, the Court will dismiss this case.
