v.
VAN NESS,
Defendant.

On August 17, 2021, the Court issued a minute order stating: “The Court has received

18

Defendant's report indicating that ‘Defendant Deputy Van Ness does not believe that a

19

settlement conference would be a good use of judicial resources and would result in

20

unnecessary fees and expenses incurred by the County of Kings.’ (ECF No. 39 , pgs. 1-2).

21

Accordingly, the Court will not set a settlement conference at this time. However, to the extent

22

any claims remain following a ruling on dispositive motions, no later than 14 days after the

23

final order on dispositive motions, or 14 days after the deadline for dispositive motions if none

24

are filed, Defendant shall file an updated report regarding whether Defendant wants the Court

25

to set a settlement conference.” (ECF No. 40).

26

The dispositive motion deadline was November 1, 2021 (ECF No. 36), and no

27

dispositive motions were filed. Accordingly, Defendant’s deadline to file an updated report

28

regarding whether Defendant wants the Court to set a settlement conference has passed, and

Defendant failed to file the report.
Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that Defendant has seven days from the date of service

of this order to file an updated report regarding whether Defendant wants the Court to set a

settlement conference.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
