As to Mario Amador Gonzalez, CDC #
AG-7688

15

A continued settlement conference in this action is set for August 8, 2018, at 11:00 AM

16

before the undersigned. (Doc. 121.) Pursuant to the Court’s minute order entered June 1, 2018,

17

the parties were required to submit updated confidential settlement statements to the Court no

18

later than August 1, 2018. (Id.) While Defendants timely submitted their statement, no statement

19

has been received from Plaintiff.

20

This Court spends considerable time preparing for settlement conference so as to make it

21

meaningful to the parties and increase the likelihood of settlement success. Settlement is

22

extremely important in this district where the judges have one of the highest caseloads per judge

23

in the United States and they are required in District Judge Drozd’s cases. The settlement

24

conference statement assists the Court in adequately preparing for these matters. They are not

25

pro forma.

26

In addition, upon review of Defendant’s statement, it appears a settlement conference

27

would not productive at this time. Under these circumstances, the Settlement Conference

28
1

1

currently set for August 8, 2018, is CONTINUED to December 4, 2018, at 1:00 PM in

2

Courtroom 7 (SKO) before Magistrate Judge Sheila K. Oberto. The parties shall submit

3

their updated confidential settlement conference statements to the Court by no later than

4

November 27, 2018. Failure to comply with this order may be grounds for the imposition

5

of sanctions on any and all counsel as well as any party or parties who cause non-compliance

6

with this order.

7

Finally, because the proceeding in this action scheduled for August 8, 2018, at 11:00 AM

8

has been continued, inmate, Mario Amador Gonzalez, CDC # AG-7688, is no longer needed by

9

the Court at the aforementioned date and time. Accordingly, the writ of habeas corpus ad

10

testificandum as to this inmate, issued on July 5, 2018, (Doc. 125), is HEREBY

11

DISCHARGED.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
