In their most recent joint case management statement, ECF No. 20, the parties state that the

13
14

mediator they selected, Geoffrey Howard, will not be able to assist them because he has been

15

appointed to the Marin County Superior Court. Id. at 4. As of today, however, they have not

16

selected a new mediator. The parties also did not propose a case schedule, even though they were

17

required to do so by local rule. See Civ. L.R. 16-9(a); Standing Order for All Judges of the

18

Northern District of California – Contents of Joint Case Management Statement ¶ 17 (requiring

19

the parties to propose “dates for designation of experts, discovery cutoff, hearing of dispositive

20

motions, pretrial conference and trial”).
Accordingly, the Court concludes that the case is not ready for case management. The

21
22

case management conference currently scheduled for January 21, 2015 is continued to February

23

18, 2015 at 2:00 p.m. An updated joint case management statement that fully complies with Civil

24

Local Rule 16-9 must be filed by February 5, 2015.
If that statement does not identify the parties’ mediator, and the date and time of the

25
26

mediation the parties have scheduled with that mediator, counsel are ordered to bring fully

charged cell phones to the case management conference, so that counsel and the court can work

concertedly to select a mediator before the conclusion of the conference.
