Reynoso et al v. City and County of San Francisco et al
Filing
119
ORDER The court previously ordered the following. See, e.g., 7/8/13 Order, ECF No. 103. Plaintiffs counsel must review with the clients (with the assistance of an interpreter) the summary judgment filings and all of defendants settlement confere nce statements. Then, Plaintiffs shall make any revised demand. The demand must be communicated to defense counsel no later than Monday, July 15, 2013, at 1 p.m. Plaintiffs should cc the court with the demands (current and revised) by simultaneous email to the courts orders box at lbpo@cand.uscourts.gov. Defendants shall respond (and cc the court by email) by Monday, July 15, 2013. Plaintiffs should email the court their settlement papers no later than Monday, July 15, 2013, at 5 p.m.T he court did not receive confirmation that Plaintiffs performed the required review (which was designed to facilitate decision-making regarding the demand). The court received no information about any demand or response. A settlement conference can not take place without this information. This is not an onerous burden: the court is very familiar with the case and told the parties that they did not have to file new statements or provide new information or do anything except (A) Plaintiffs need to understand the case before coming to the settlement conference and (B) Plaintiffs need to make a demand so that Defendants can respond. Because of the way the government works, this has to happen before the settlement conference. The court has m et with everyone previously, and this is the only way to make the conference productive. The court understands that Plaintiffs oppositions are due on July 26, 2013 (despite the courts previous efforts to stage the settlement before the oppositions t o save counsel the work if the case could be resolved). Given that context, the court issues this revised order. 1. Plaintiffs counsel must review with the clients (with the assistance of an interpreter) the summary judgment filings and all of def endants settlement conference statements. Then, Plaintiffs shall make any revised demand to the government by Monday, July 29, 2013 at 1 p.m. Plaintiffs should cc the court with the demands and any updated information by simultaneous email to the courts orders box at lbpo@cand.uscourts.gov. 2. Defendants shall respond (and cc the court by email) by Monday, July 29, 2013. (Beeler, Laurel) (Filed on 7/25/2013)
