Case No.: 1:13-cv-01725 LJO JLT
ORDER AFTER NOTICE OF TENTATIVE
SETTLEMENT
(Doc. 40)

16
On March 3, 2015, counsel notified the Court that they had reached a tentative settlement but no

17
18

settlement can occur absent the agreement of the City Council which will meet within about three

19

weeks. (Doc. 40 at 2) Though counsel request a stay, it appears more efficient—in light of the pending

20

case deadlines—to vacate all current dates and, as necessary, to re-set them in the event the City

21

Council declines the settlement offer. Therefore, the Court ORDERS:

22

1.

The stipulated request for dismissal SHALL be filed no later than May 1, 2015;

23

2.

All pending dates, conferences and hearings are VACATED and any pending motions are

24

ordered TERMINATED.
