MINUTE ORDER IN CHAMBERS:
Before the court is Defendants’ Motion to Stay Proceedings in this Action Pending Global
Settlement Conference. (Doc. # 135.) Defendants represent that at a status conference held in in
case number 3:10-cv-00373-LRH-VPC, one of Plaintiff’s federal cases, the parties represented they
would “be willing to engage in negotiations to encompass all three of Mr. Fernandez’ current federal
cases” including the instant case, and that settlement conference has been tentatively set for April 29,
2013. (Id. at 2.) Defendants therefore request that all proceedings in this case be stayed pending the
settlement conference. Defendants note that the requested stay would include a stay of discovery
pending the settlement conference, and that the court’s order granting stay “preclude the propounding
of additional discovery during the stay period.” (Id. at 2, fn. 2.)
The setting of that settlement conference has been confirmed by in the instant matter (see,
Doc. # 140, Minute Order in Chambers, dated 4/9/2013).
Good cause appearing, therefore, Defendant’s motion (Doc. # 135) is GRANTED. All
further proceedings, including discovery, are STAYED pending completion of the global settlement
conference. Counsel for defendant shall file a notice with the court after the conclusion of the
settlement conference advising the court if the settlement conference was successful or not.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
LANCE S. WILSON, CLERK
