CASE NO. C21-0725-JCC

The following Minute Order is made by direction of the Court, the Honorable John C.
Coughenour, United States District Judge:
Before the Court is the parties’ third request to modify the briefing schedule for this
bankruptcy appeal. (Dkt. No. 12). In their previous request, the parties stated they had entered a
settlement agreement in principal but were awaiting approval from the bankruptcy court. (See
Dkt. No. 10 at 1.) Now, they state that the bankruptcy court approved the settlement agreement
on November 15, 2021, but they still need time to “conclude the settlement.” (Dkt. No. 12 at 2.)
Given that the parties have settled the case, the Court sees little reason to maintain a briefing
schedule and is disinclined to afford further continuances without a timeline for closing this
MINUTE ORDER
