The parties to the above-captioned action are scheduled to participate in a settlement conference

with the undersigned on 10:00 a.m. PST on Wednesday, December 7, 2011. The parties submitted
18
settlement conference statements as required by this court’s order dated October 21, 2011. See
19

10/21/2011 Order, ECF No. 41.1 Plaintiffs, however, failed to inform the court of their incurred

20
attorneys’ fees, as they are required to do. See id. at 4. In addition, it appears from Plaintiffs’
21
statement that they have yet to make a formal settlement demand. This court’s order, however,
22
requires Plaintiff to do so, and for Defendants to respond to it, prior to the settlement conference.
