On August 22, 2013, the Court received a correspondence from Rayma Church, counsel

19

for Defendant Harbor Freight Tools USA, Inc. (“Harbor Freight”).

(ECF No. 16.)

The

correspondence indicates that Harbor Freight’s commercial liability insurer recently determined

20
that it does not owe a defense to Harbor Freight in this case. Ms. Church further informed the
21
Court that it may take some time for Harbor Freight to obtain substitute counsel but, in the
22
interim, it may not be feasible for Harbor Freight to meaningfully participate in the settlement
23
conference currently scheduled for Monday, August 26, 2013.
24
In light of this new information, the Court HEREBY ORDERS that the settlement
25
conference currently scheduled for Monday, August 26, 2013 is VACATED and rescheduled for
