On June 4, 2021, the parties filed a Joint Motion to Stay Discovery and Pretrial

22

Deadlines for 120 days. ECF No. 15. In support, the parties state that a settlement has been

23

reached but they require additional time to finalize the settlement before the matter is ripe

24

for dismissal. Id. at 2. Because the case has settled, all other pending dates before

25

Magistrate Judge Lopez are hereby VACATED, including the telephonic status conference

26

on June 22, 2021. See ECF No. 14. Any matters currently scheduled before the district

27

judge shall remain in effect pending notice from that court. Because the notice of settlement

28

has effectively stayed discovery-related dates, the Court DENIES AS MOOT the Joint

2

Motion to Stay Discovery and Pretrial Deadlines.

3

The parties are ordered to file their joint motion for dismissal of this case, signed by

4

counsel of record and any unrepresented parties, no later than October 4, 2021. A proposed

5

order on the joint motion for dismissal must be emailed to the district judge's chambers 1

6

on the same day. If the signed joint motion for dismissal is timely filed, the parties and

7

attorneys are not required to make any further appearances before Judge Lopez.

8

If the fully executed joint motion for dismissal is not filed by October 4, 2021, then

9

all counsel of record and unrepresented parties are required to appear in person for a

10

Settlement Disposition Conference. The Settlement Disposition Conference will be held

11

on October 12, 2021 at 9:30 a.m. PST in Courtroom 2B.

12

If counsel of record or any unrepresented party fails to appear at the Settlement

13

Disposition Conference, or the parties fail to file the signed joint motion for dismissal in a

14

timely manner, the Court will issue an order to show cause why sanctions should not be

15

imposed for failing to comply with this Order.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
