Case No.: 13-CV-5587 YGR
ORDER CONTINUING COMPLIANCE HEARING,
REQUIRING PERSONAL APPEARANCES

v.
MITCH POOL,
Defendant.

16

On March 13, 2014, the parties in the above-styled action filed a notice of conditional

17

settlement. (Dkt. No. 14.) To provide a method of tracking the case through its final disposition, on

18

March 21, 2014 the Court set a compliance hearing for April 25, 2014. (Dkt. No. 15 ("March 21

19

Order").) The Court's March 21 Order required the parties to file "either (a) a Stipulation of

20

Dismissal; or (b) a one-page JOINT STATEMENT setting forth an explanation regarding the failure to

21

comply" at least five business days before the date of the compliance hearing. (Id. (emphasis in

22

original).) The parties' submission therefore was due no later than April 18.

23

On April 17, the parties filed a joint statement detailing the parties' efforts to finalize their

24

settlement agreement and representing that the settlement agreement was expected to be executed

25

"within the next few days" and that the parties would "then promptly file a stipulated dismissal of all

26

claims in this action." (Dkt. No. 16.) The parties requested a continuance of the compliance hearing

27

to May 9, 2014 or later. (Id.) The Court granted that request and continued the compliance hearing to

28

May 9. (Dkt. No. 17.) Accordingly, pursuant to the Court's March 21 Order, the parties' Stipulation

1

of Dismissal or their next Joint Statement was due May 2. That date has passed and the parties have

2

filed nothing.

3

The Court CONTINUES the May 9 compliance hearing to its 9:01 a.m. Calendar on Friday,

4

May 16, 2014, in Courtroom 1 of the United States Courthouse located at 1301 Clay Street in

5

Oakland, California. The Court ORDERS counsel for both parties to appear in person at the

6

compliance hearing accompanied by a party representative with full settlement authority.

If the parties file a Stipulation of Dismissal on or before Wednesday, May 14, 2014, the
compliance hearing will be taken off calendar and, accordingly, no appearances shall be required.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
