ALEXANDER K. FINLAN, Plaintiff, v. UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Defendant.
MINUTE ORDER
John C. Coughenour, United States District Judge
The following Minute Order is made by direction of the Court, the Honorable John C. Coughenour, United States District Judge:
The parties' July 2020 joint status report indicates that the parties were agreeable to mediation and planned to work together to schedule one. (Dkt. No. 19 at 4.) Accordingly, the Court set a Local Civil Rule 39.1 mediation deadline of June 21, 2021, which it subsequently continued to October 19, 2021. See (Dkt. Nos. 21 (setting initial deadline), 27 (continuing deadline by 120 days).) This deadline has passed.
It is thus ORDERED that within seven days of this minute order, the parties must either (1) cause to be filed the required notice under Local Civil Rule 39.1(c)(7); or (2) file a joint status report showing cause for their failure to hold the mediation, updating the Court on the possibility of settlement, and specifying whether the Court should set a new Local Civil Rule 39.1 deadline.
