ORDER DENYING PLAINTIFFS'
REQUEST TO RESCHEDULE
SETTLEMENT CONFERENCE
Re: Dkt. No. 42

United States District Court
Northern District of California

On December 11, 2015, the Honorable Susan Illston referred this case for an emergency

13

settlement conference. On December 14, 2015, the undersigned issued an order scheduling a

14

January 26, 2016 settlement conference, and giving the parties a December 21, 2015 deadline to

15

notify the court of any scheduling conflicts. On January 15, 2016, Plaintiffs filed an untimely

16

request to reschedule. Docket No. 42. Defendant objected, noting among other things that its

17

corporate counsel had already paid for cross-country airfare and hotel accommodations associated

18

with the settlement conference. Docket No. 43.

19

The court denies Plaintiffs’ request due to its lateness, as well as the fact that rescheduling

20

would result in financial prejudice to Defendant. The settlement conference will go forward on

21

January 26, 2016 as originally scheduled. All parties must attend, and must also comply with all

22

instructions set forth in the court's December 14, 2015 scheduling order. Docket No. 37.
