RONNIE CHEROKEE BROWN,

No. 2:20-cv-1709 AC P

Plaintiff,

13

v.

14

A. REILLY, et al.,

15

ORDER

Defendants.

16
On March 12, 2024, a settlement conference was held in this case and the case settled.

17
18

ECF No. 180. Plaintiff has now filed a second motion requesting his settlement proceeds be sent

19

to him because it has been more than six months since the agreement was made. ECF No. 186.

20

Plaintiff was advised that it can take up to 180 days for settlement proceeds to be processed, and

21

defendants therefore had until at least September 8, 2024,1 to pay plaintiff the agreed upon funds.

22

Plaintiff’s motion was received by the court on August 15, 2024. Because defendants’ deadline

23

for providing plaintiff with his settlement proceeds had not yet passed when the motion was filed,

24

the motion will be denied without prejudice to renewal in the event plaintiff has still not received

25

the agreed upon payment.

This deadline has been calculated based on the date of the settlement agreement. Plaintiff was
advised that the 180 days would begin to run after he returned the necessary paperwork, so the
actual deadline may be later depending on when plaintiff returned all the necessary paperwork to
defendants.

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that plaintiff’s motion for payment of

2

settlement funds (ECF No. 186) is DENIED without prejudice.
