Plaintiff,
v.

ORDER

SEARS ROEBUCK & CO., ET AL,
Defendants.

17

This matter was set for trial on August 26, 2014. However, due to a conflict with the

18

Court’s calendar, the Court vacated this date on April 4, 2014, and delayed rescheduling the trial

19

on this matter pending determination on Defendants’ summary judgment motion. (See Minute

20

Order, ECF No. 61.) On January 15, 2015, this Court filed its order denying Defendants’ Motion

21

for Summary Judgment or in the Alternative Summary Adjudication. (See Order, ECF No. 64.)

22

Thus, this matter must be reset for trial. However, the Court’s docket cannot accommodate a trial

23

until summer 2016.

24

Therefore, the Court hereby orders the parties to meet and confer as to whether both

25

parties are willing to attend a settlement conference before the magistrate judge and whether the

26

parties are amenable to consenting to the jurisdiction of the magistrate judge in order to have their

27

trial concluded in a more timely matter. The parties are hereby ordered to file a joint statement

28

with this Court within thirty (30) days of the entry of this order notifying the Court as to whether
1

1

a settlement conference would be beneficial and whether they would like to consent to the

2

jurisdiction of the magistrate judge.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
