No. 2:14-cv-1650 TLN CKD PS

Plaintiff,
v.

ORDER

NCO FINANCIAL SYSTEMS, INC.,

15

Defendant.

16
17

Plaintiff has moved the court for reference to a settlement conference. Plaintiff asserts

18

that defendant has not been responsive to her attempts to engage in meaningful settlement

19

negotiations. The court previously advised the parties in the status (pretrial scheduling) order

20

filed January 15, 2015 that if the parties determine a settlement conference would be beneficial, the

21

courtroom deputy may be contacted to arrange a date for the settlement conference. No motion is

22

necessary to make such a request. In the absence of a joint request of the parties for a settlement

23

conference, the court declines at this time to set a date for settlement conference.

24

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that plaintiff’s motion (ECF No. 25) is denied

25

without prejudice.

Dated: May 4, 2015
