Opinion
Case No. 2:10-cv-02166-PMP-CWH
04-18-2013
SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION, Plaintiff, v. MARCUS A. LUNA, et al., Defendants.
ORDER
This matter is before the Court on the parties' Stipulation for an Adjournment of the Settlement Conference (#92), filed on April 17, 2013. It is also before the Court on Plaintiff's Unopposed Motion for an Exception to the Personal Attendance Requirements (#93), filed on April 17, 2013.
The Court finds that good cause exists to vacate the Settlement Conference, currently scheduled for June 18, 2013. The parties are instructed to file a Stipulation within fourteen (14) days of this Order with proposed dates for rescheduling the Settlement Conference. Furthermore, the Court finds that good cause exists to excuse a representative for Plaintiff with binding authority to settlement this matter. The Court will require that Plaintiff send a representative with authority to negotiate on behalf of Plaintiff and, if appropriate, to agree that the Chicago Regional Office will recommend a settlement to the Plaintiff for its consideration and approval as the appropriate decision-making body.
Based on the foregoing and good cause appearing therefore,
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the parties' Stipulation for an Adjournment of the Settlement Conference (#92) is granted. The Settlement Conference scheduled for June 18, 2013 is vacated. The parties shall meet and confer and submit proposed dates to reschedule the Settlement Conference to the Court within fourteen (14) days.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Plaintiff's Unopposed Motion for an Exception to the Personal Attendance Requirements (#93) is granted.
