JOINT STATUS REPORT; STIPULATION AND ORDER REGARDING REQUEST TO MODIFY SCHEDULING ORDER RE PRE-TRIAL PROCEEDINGS
Complaint Filed: December 18, 2003
Phase II Trial Date: March 5, 2012
The Honorable Kimberly J. Mueller
Since the filing of the last Joint Status Report on January 17, 2012 (ECF # 656) the parties and their attorneys have continued to diligently work towards reaching a resolution of the remaining issues in this case. The parties have reached agreement on all major terms of the settlement and are in the process of obtaining approval for the remaining minor issues.
The parties and their counsel have a good faith belief that by January 24, 2012 they will have final confirmation from all involved parties and party representatives that the terms of settlement have been agreed upon. In order to have sufficient time to complete the settlement authorization process utilized by the University of California for all cases of this nature, the parties propose the following:
1. The parties will file a further Joint Status Report no later than January 24, 2012, advising the Court whether final confirmation of the settlement terms has been reached.
2. If confirmation has been reached, the Court will vacate the March 5, 2012 trial date, and order the parties to file either a Stipulated Request for Dismissal of the action or a further Joint Status Report no later than April 9, 2012.
