No. C 12-04789 WHA

On the day before the hearing, counsel filed a request to vacate the hearing and submitted

17

a complicated settlement plan with a provision that the district court retain jurisdiction

18

indefinitely. This request came after all the work was done by the judge on the pending motion.

19

No counsel bothered to appear at the hearing. The request is DENIED.

20

Instead of reducing the settlement agreement to a judgment and supervising it

21

indefinitely, the Court will enter a default judgment as requested originally. If the parties then

22

wish to enter into an out-of-court agreement (enforceable in state court), so be it.
