BUSINESS RESEARCH BUREAU d/b/a GALLUP PAKISTAN, and IJAZ SHAFT GILANI, Defendants. / ORDER SETTING FURTHER CASE MANAGEMENT CONFERENCE AND VACATING HEARING No. C 08-01577 WHA 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 As set forth in the recent case management order, plaintiff was ordered to file a motion for summary judgment on the lingering jurisdictional issues in this extraterritorial trademark action by August 5, 2010, with a hearing scheduled for September 16 (Dkt. No. 128). No summary judgment motion was filed. Instead, plaintiff left a voice mail with the clerk explaining that the parties had reached a "settlement" and that no motion was necessary. The parties are reminded that until and unless a stipulated dismissal is filed, all courtordered deadlines must be followed. A pending "settlement" and ongoing negotiations do not excuse missed deadlines. While an order to show cause would normally have been issued, given the unique circumstances of this action, a further case management conference is now scheduled for 11 A.M. ON SEPTEMBER 16 (the same day that the hearing was to occur) to discuss 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 whether plaintiff's case should be dismissed for want of prosecution or to set dates for trial, if necessary. The hearing on the summary judgment motion is VACATED. IT IS SO ORDERED. Dated: August 11, 2010.
