Plaintiff filed a notice of settlement on June 27, 2012 (ECF 13) and was ordered

16
17

to file dispositional documents by July 27, 2012 (ECF 14.) On July 27, 2012, plaintiff filed a

Local Rule 160(b) provides: “The Court may, on good cause shown, extend the

21

time for filing the dispositional papers.” Although plaintiff has not shown good cause, as this is

22

plaintiff’s first such request, it is hereby granted, with the admonition that such requests shall not

23

be granted in the future without good cause having been shown.

24

The court notes that default has been entered against defendant, who has not

25

appeared in this action although he has been served. Within seven (7) days, plaintiff shall

26

provide the court with proof that defendant was served the notice of settlement and request for
1

1

extension filed in this matter; failure to do so may result in dismissal of the above-captioned

2

matter with prejudice. Plaintiff is further ordered to provide this order to defendant and to file

3

proof of service of this order on defendant on the court’s docket within seven (7) days.
