Case No.: 10-CV-03561-WHA
ORDER RE: FURTHER
SETTLEMENT CONFERENCES

Federal district courts resolve cases by any number of means short of trial. Sometimes we

17

enter default judgments. Sometimes we enter summary judgments. Sometimes we convene

18

settlement conferences. And yet, even though the overwhelming majority of cases are resolved by

19

these and other means, we are not referred to in passing as judgment courts, or settlement courts.

20

We are referred to as trial courts because, in the end, some cases just need to be tried.

21

This case is a good example of why that is so. Despite their diligent efforts and those of

22

their able counsel, the parties have reached an irreconcilable impasse in their settlement discussions

23

with the undersigned. No further conferences shall be convened. The parties should instead direct

24

their entire attention to the preparation of their trial presentations. Good luck.

25

IT IS SO ORDERED.
