Re: ECF No. 25

Plaintiff stated on the record on August 19, 2013, that the parties have settled this action.

12

See ECF No. 25. Accordingly, all deadlines and hearings in this case are VACATED. By

13

October 3, 2013, the parties shall file either a stipulated dismissal or a one-page joint statement

14

explaining why they failed to comply with this Order.

15

The parties should be aware that, unless there is good cause for continuing federal court

16

supervision over a case, it is not the undersigned’s normal practice to exercise continuing

17

jurisdiction over a settlement agreement or to issue an injunction which has the effect of making

18

the violation of an agreement a federal cause of action. See, e.g., Regents of the Univ. of

19

Calif. v. International Medical Group, Inc., Case No. 3:12-cv-00048-JST, Order Denying Request

20

to Retain Jurisdiction over Settlement Agreement, ECF No. 53 (N.D. Cal. July 9, 2013). If the

21

parties request that the Court exercise such jurisdiction, the request should also explain the

22

unusual circumstances that justify departure from this general rule.

Any continuance of the deadline set in this Order requires a showing of good cause.
Failure to comply with that deadline may result in sanctions.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
