Case No. 2:14-cv-01430-JAD-VCF
ORDER GRANTING MOTION TO
VACATE EARLY NEUTRAL
EVALUATION SESSION
(Docket No. 11)

16

Pending before the Court is Plaintiff’s motion for relief from the early neutral evaluation session

17

(“ENE”) currently scheduled for November 18, 2014. Docket No. 11. Local Rule 16-6(c) governs such

18

motions, and provides the evaluation magistrate judge with final authority to grant or deny such a

19

motion. Here, Plaintiff provides several reasons for seeking to vacate the ENE; namely, that the tort

20

causes of action form the crux of the case, that sufficient discovery will not be completed by the time

21

of the ENE for meaningful settlement discussions, and that previous attempts to settle have failed. See

22

Docket No. 11 at 3-4. For good cause shown, the Court hereby VACATES the ENE set for November

23

18, 2014 and INSTRUCTS the Clerk’s Office to remove the ENE flag from this case.

24

IT IS SO ORDERED.
