Case No. 1:14-cv-00936-DAD-JLT (PC)
ORDER VACATING SETTLEMENT

APPEARANCE BY VIDEO CONFERENCING,
AND LIFTING STAY

REYNOSO,

Defendant.

A settlement conference is currently scheduled for March 7, 2019 at 9:30 a.m. in front of

17

the undersigned. However, in light of Plaintiff’s objection to the undersigned conducting it and

18

request for a 30-day extension of time to file a confidential settlement statement, the Court no

19

longer finds that a settlement conference is likely to be beneficial at this time.

20

Accordingly, the settlement conference scheduled for March 7, 2019 is VACATED; the

21

order and writ of habeas corpus ad testificandum for Plaintiff to appear by video conference is

22

VACATED; the stay is lifted; and a Discovery and Scheduling Order will issue separately. The

23

parties are encouraged to informally engage in settlement discussions and may request a court

24

supervised settlement conference be rescheduled if they believe it would be beneficial.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
