Johnson, Plaintiff, 9 v. 10 13 CHUNDUSHAI PATEL, Individually and d/b/a Stockton Travelers Motel; KIM LE, Individually and d/b/a Le Kim’s Restaurant; SAMIRKUMAR R. PATEL, 14 Defendants. ________________________________ 11 12 ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) 2:11-cv-02471-GEB-JFM ORDER RE: SETTLEMENT AND DISPOSITION 15 Plaintiff filed a “Notice of Settlement” on November 8, 2011, 16 17 in which he states, “the parties have settled this action[, and 18 d]ispositional documents will be filed within (30) calendar days.” (ECF 19 No. 8.) 20 Therefore, a dispositional document shall be filed no later 21 than December 8, 2011. Failure to respond by this deadline may be 22 construed as consent to dismissal of this action without prejudice, and 23 a dismissal order could be filed. See E.D. Cal. R. 160(b) (“A failure to 24 file dispositional papers on the date prescribed by the Court may be 25 grounds for sanctions.”). 26 Further, the Status Conference scheduled for hearing on 27 December 12, 2011, is continued to February 13, 2012, commencing at 9:00 28 a.m., in the event no dispositional document is filed, or if this action 1 1 is not otherwise dismissed.1 A joint status report shall be filed 2 fourteen (14) days prior to the Status Conference. 3 4 IT IS SO ORDERED.

Cf. Callie v. Near, 829 F.2d 888, 890 (9th Cir. 1987) (indicating that a representation that claims have been settled does not necessarily establish the existence of a binding settlement agreement). 2
