No. C 10-03561 WHA

Early on in this case the Court allowed both sides to skip the Court’s mediation plan and

17

use a private mediator instead. The private mediation thus far has not succeeded. We are close to

18

trial. Subject to considering the views of counsel, the Court is inclined to order both sides to

19

mediate the case before a United States Magistrate Judge and to order the top executive officers

20

of both sides to be in attendance for one or two complete days as necessary in the judgment of the

21

Magistrate Judge. Counsel may comment on this proposal, including identifying who the

22

appropriate top executives of both sides would be, by NOON on SEPTEMBER 7, 2011.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
