On January 28, 2010, the Court referred the parties in the above-captioned matter to the ADR Department to participate in a further mediation regarding Plaintiff's pending motion to enforce settlement. (Dkt. #26.) However, Plaintiff's counsel has since informed the Court that Plaintiff will only participate in a settlement conference before the undersigned magistrate judge. Accordingly, the Court hereby VACATES the January 28, 2010 mediation referral. Instead, the Court hereby ORDERS the parties to appear for a settlement conference on February 5, 2010 at 10:30 a.m. in Judge James' CHAMBERS, 15th Floor, 450 Golden Gate Avenue, San Francisco, California. On the date of the settlement conference, counsel and parties shall use the intercom adjacent to chambers' security entrance to notify the Court of their arrival. Settlement Conference statements shall be submitted by February 2, 2010, and in accordance with Magistrate Judge James' Standing Order Re: Settlement Conference Procedures, a copy of which may be obtained from the Northern District of California's website at http://www.cand.uscourts.gov/. From the homepage, click on the "Judges" tab on the left margin, then choose Magistrate Judge James. The parties' statements need only address the present dispute.

The parties shall file their waivers by February 2, 2010. IT IS SO ORDERED.
