Therefore, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that no later than June 29, 2010, Defendant shall file revised opposition papers that do not disclose the any position taken by Plaintiff Van regarding settlement. It is generally improper to disclose any position taken during settlement negotiations, particularly to the assigned judge. See, e.g., ADR LR 6-12(a)(2) & 7-5(a)(2). If Defendant believes disclosure of Plaintiff Van's position regarding settlement is necessary to their opposition to the sanctions motion, Defendant shall serve and file a declaration explaining why the information is necessary (without disclosing the actual substance of the information). IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that, based on the stay previously ordered herein, and on the court's own scheduling needs, the hearings on all pending motions in this matter are CONTINUED to 10:00 a.m. on July 20, 2010.
