HONORABLE KENLY KIYA KATO, UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE.
On April 13, 2015, the Honorable Stephen V. Wilson referred this matter for a settlement conference. (ECF Docket No. (" dkt.") 24). On April 29, 2015, the Court issued an Order Regarding Settlement Conference, ordering the parties to submit a Confidential Settlement Conference Statement five court days prior to the date of the settlement conference. (Dkt. 25). On June 8, 2015, the settlement conference was scheduled for July 10, 2015. (Dkt. 27). Hence, according to the Court's April 29, 2015 order, the deadline for submitting Confidential Settlement Conference Statements was Thursday, July 2, 2015.
Friday, July 3, 2015, was a court holiday.
As of this date, the Court has not received a Confidential Settlement Conference Statement from defendant Dore A. Reyes. The Court ORDERS defendant Dore A. Reyes and defendant's counsel, Fredric J.

Defendant and defense counsel shall respond in writing to this Order to Show Cause and submit the required filings no later than July 15, 2015.
