The parties met in settlement conference on August 5, 2016. At that conference the
20
parties desired to explore a phased settlement process, and agreed to certain actions to be taken
21
within the next four weeks. During this period and for a time afterwards, it is helpful if discovery
22
cutoff is modified.
23
Accordingly, no later than August 22, 2016, plaintiff shall produce all available evidence
24
concerning mortgage payments made by plaintiff to Roundpoint Mortgage for those payments
25
which are disputed by plaintiff, i.e., plaintiff asserts she may have made them, and Roundpoint
26
disagrees. No later than September 6, 2016, the parties shall submit a joint letter to the
27
undersigned (as part of a continuing settlement process) setting forth their agreement concerning
28

1

disputed payments, or what disputes remain with respect to payments made. The parties shall

2

shortly thereafter contact the chambers of the undersigned for scheduling a conference call to

3

flesh out what further conferences might be useful, or to attempt to settle matters telephonically.

4

With authorization of the district judge, discovery cutoff in this action is continued to

5

October 31, 2016 with the proviso that plaintiff shall not propound discovery during this period,

6

and defendant shall not move to adjudicate possible discovery disputes up through and including

7

September 6, 2016. Notwithstanding discovery cutoff of October 31, 2016, defendant may take

8

plaintiff’s deposition anytime up through December 31, 2016, i.e., this is the one and only

9

exception to the October 31, 2016 cutoff. The meaning of discovery cutoff shall otherwise

10
11
12

remain as defined by the district judge in this case.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
Dated: August 8, 2016
