The parties listed below respectfully submit the following joint status report, pursuant to the Court's order filed on September 14, 2011.
A. Status of Consolidated Cases
On September 9, 2011, both Plaintiffs in the consolidated cases listed above (the "Plaintiffs") and Defendants CARSON & BARNES CIRCUS and GUSTAVO PARRA-BELLO (collectively, the "Circus Parties") participated in a mediation before Honorable Laura Beeler, Magistrate Judge for the U.S. District Court, Northern District of California. At the mediation, the consolidated cases were both settled orally with respect to the Plaintiffs and the Circus Parties before Magistrate Judge Beeler, with the basic terms of the settlement agreement orally entered into on the record before a court reporter. The final points of the written settlement agreement are currently in the process of being negotiated among parties to the consolidated actions. The parties have submitted a joint letter to Magistrate Judge Beeler requesting her assistance in mediating the disputes on the final points set forth in the settlement agreement. The joint letter was emailed to Magistrate Judge Beeler on October 7, 2011 and was hand delivered to Magistrate Judge Beeler on or about October 11, 2011. The parties are currently awaiting Magistrate Judge Beeler's assistance in mediating the final points in the settlement agreement.
B. Request to Continue Status Conference
In light of the pending settlement of the consolidated cases between Plaintiffs and the Circus Parties, and the recent request to Magistrate Judge Beeler to assist the parties in mediating the final points of the written settlement agreement, all parties hereby jointly request that the Status Conference currently scheduled for October 28, 2011 in the instant action be continued to a date after January 1, 2011 to allow the parties time to finalize and execute the settlement agreement. After the settlement agreement is finalized and executed, the parties will execute and file a stipulation for dismissal of the actions.
