Defendants.
_____________________________________/

16

The court held a further settlement conference on July 3, 2012 and orders the following.

17

As discussed, the parties will ask the district court to continue the case management conference

18

until mid-September 2012. The parties will stay further discovery and any litigation until after the

19

next settlement conference.

20

The parties shall meet and confer as discussed and thereafter contact courtroom deputy Lashanda

21

Scott on or before July 16, 2012 to set a further settlement conference at their earliest convenience

22

(and as the court’s schedule allows). The defendants shall meet and confer separately on the matters

23

discussed and shall update the court by July 16, 2012 with their plan for moving forward. That

24

update may be informal by email to the court’s orders box at [e-mail], or the parties

25

may arrange a separate or joint telephone call through Ms. Scott.

26

Also, as discussed, the court’s intent is that before the next settlement conference, the defendants

27

(either collectively or individually) shall comply with paragraph D(1)(c) of the court’s settlement

28

conference order. See 12/14/11 Order, ECF No. 28, at 4. The defendants also shall ensure that
ORDER
C 11-02867 TEH (LB)

1

persons with policy making authority are at the next settlement conference. The court is willing to

2

accommodate the schedules of those policymakers by conducting the settlement conference in

3

Oakland (likely in the lawyers’ lounge) and by setting a time certain for their participation. The

4

defendants shall include this information in their updated settlement statement to the court. The

5

parties’ updated settlement conference statements shall be lodged with the court at least two

6

business days before the next settlement conference. They should contain only new information

7

(such as the defendants’ compliance with paragraph D(1)(c) and who will be attending the

8

conference) and may be emailed to the court’s orders box.

are free to modify them by agreement.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
