Opinion

KRISTIANE SMITH, Plaintiff, v. NCO FINANCIAL SYSTEMS, INC., Defendant. No. 2:14-cv-1650 TLN CKD PS United States District Court, E.D. California. May 4, 2015

          ORDER

          CAROLYN K. DELANEY, Magistrate Judge.

         Plaintiff has moved the court for reference to a settlement conference. Plaintiff asserts that defendant has not been responsive to her attempts to engage in meaningful settlement negotiations. The court previously advised the parties in the status (pretrial scheduling) order filed January 15, 2015 that if the parties determine a settlement conference would be beneficial, the courtroom deputy may be contacted to arrange a date for the settlement conference. No motion is necessary to make such a request. In the absence of a joint request of the parties for a settlement conference, the court declines at this time to set a date for settlement conference.

         Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that plaintiff's motion (ECF No. 25) is denied without prejudice.
