This case settled nearly half a year ago. Docket No. 60. Due to logistical issues, the parties

17 have since obtained two extensions to file dismissal papers. With respect to the most recent
18 extension, the parties represented that they “have nearly finalized” the papers needed for dismissal,
19 and requested an extended deadline for filing dismissal papers of August 9, 2018. Docket No. 63.
20 The Court granted that stipulation. Docket No. 64.1 The parties did not comply with that order
21 imposing the deadline that they requested.
22

The Court hereby ORDERS dismissal papers be filed by August 20, 2018. FAILURE

23 TO COMPLY WITH THIS ORDER MAY RESULT IN THE IMPOSITION OF
24 SANCTIONS, INCLUDING COURT FINES ON THE PARTIES AND THEIR
25

The Court has accepted the parties’ previous representations regarding the need for
26 additional time. The Court notes, however, that the material terms of the settlement are already
established by operation of the statements made on the record at the settlement conference. See
27 Doi v. Halekulani Corp., 276 F.3d 1131, 1137-38 (9th Cir. 2002); see also Docket No. 60.
Memorializing the terms of a settlement agreement already established on the record is not a
28 herculean task requiring extensive time, even when multiple parties are involved.
