No. C 12-01419 LB
ORDER (1) REFERRING CASE TO A
RANDOMLY-ASSIGNED
MAGISTRATE JUDGE FOR A
SETTLEMENT CONFERENCE AND
(2) RESETTING CERTAIN CASE
MANAGEMENT DATES

The court held a further case management conference on March 7, 2013. See 3/7/2013 Minute

17

Order, ECF No. 49. At the conference, the court and the parties discussed the possibility of the

18

parties’ participation in a settlement conference with a magistrate judge. The court and the parties

19

also discussed the parties’ competing proposals for adjusting some of the case management dates in

20

this action. The court tabled these decisions and directed the parties to file a joint case management

21

conference statement by March 14, 2013 with further elaboration on these matters.

22

On March 14, 2013, the parties did so. Regarding a possible settlement conference, Defendant

23

Cal Coast states that it is fine with a settlement conference before a randomly-assigned magistrate

24

judge, but Plaintiff states that it “is agreeable to random selection of a neutral familiar with

25

banking/financial services from the Northern District’s ADR Panel of mediators.” Plaintiff does not

26

say anything about a settlement conference with a magistrate judge, despite the court’s request that it

27

do so. See 3/7/2013 Minute Order, ECF No. 49. And Defendant Reyes does not appear to have an

28

opinion on the matter.

Under these circumstances, the court REFERS the instant action for a settlement conference
before a randomly-assigned magistrate judge.

3

Regarding the adjustments to some of the case management dates in this action, Cal Coast

4

suggests, in light of the March 24, 2014 trial date, that the expert disclosure deadline be set on

5

October 4, 2013. It does not suggest any other new dates. Plaintiff agrees that the expert disclosure

6

deadline be set on October 4, 2013, and it also suggests that the non-expert discovery deadline be set

7

on September 4, 2013, the rebuttal expert disclosure deadline be set for November 4, 2013, the

8

expert discovery completion date be set on December 4, 2013, and the last day for hearing

9

dispositive motions be set on February 6, 2014 at 11:00 a.m. Again, Defendant Reyes does not

10

Upon consideration of the parties’ suggestions, the court SETS the following dates:
