PHILADELPHIA INDEMNITY
INSURANCE COMPANY,

Case No. 2:17-cv-00871-APG-PAL
ORDER

Plaintiff,

v.

FIVE STAR RESTAURANTS, LLC, et al.,

11

Defendants.

12

This matter is before the court on the parties= failure to file a joint pretrial order as required

13

by LR 26-1(e)(5). The Discovery Plan and Scheduling Order (ECF No. 43) filed July 7, 2018,

14

required the parties to file a joint pretrial order required by LR 26-1(e)(5) no later than January 19,

15

2018, or 30 days after ruling on dispositive motions. On August 6, 2018, Judge Gordon denied

16

without prejudice the motion for partial summary judgment so that the parties could “resolve this

17

matter through their ongoing settlement discussions.” and from what the court can discern from

18

the docket, the parties have been in settlement negotiations since May 2018. See Minutes of

19

Proceedings (ECF No. 84).

20

On September 26, 2018 the parties filed a stipulation requesting “that this action be referred

21

to the Court’s alternate dispute resolution program for a settlement conference.” See ECF No. 87.

22

The court will grant the parties request for a mandatory settlement conference and set a new

23

deadline for refiling dispositive motions and the joint pretrial order if the case is not resolved at

24

the settlement conference.

25

IT IS ORDERED that:

26

1. The Stipulation for Settlement Conference (ECF No. 87) is GRANTED. A settlement

27

conference is scheduled for 9:30 a.m., January 4, 2019. A separate order shall issue

28

with the specifics for the settlement conference.
1

2. The parties shall have until February 4, 2019 to refile dispositive motions if no
settlement is reached.

3

3. The parties shall have until March 6, 2019, to file the joint pretrial order. The

4

disclosures required by Fed. R. Civ. P. 26(a)(3) and any objections thereto shall be

5

included in the pretrial order.

6

DATED this 9th day of October, 2018.
