PAMELA K. STEINLICHT, Plaintiff, v. SUN LIFE ASSURANCE COMPANY OF CANADA, Defendant.
ORDER CONFIRMING SETTLEMENT AND SETTING DEADLINE TO FILE JOINT MOTION FOR DISMISSAL
Hon. Barbara L. Major United States Magistrate Judge
On March 29, 2022, the Court held a Mandatory Settlement Conference and the case settled. ECF No. 29. Because the parties have reached a settlement, all pending dates before Magistrate Judge Major are hereby vacated. Any matters currently scheduled before the district judge shall remain in effect pending notice from that court.
The parties are ordered to file their joint motion for dismissal of this case, signed by counsel of record and any unrepresented parties, no later than May 17, 2022. A proposed order on the joint motion for dismissal must be e-mailed to the district judge's chambers on the same day. If the signed joint motion for dismissal is timely filed, the parties and attorneys are not required to make any further appearances before Judge Major.
The proposed order shall be e-mailed pursuant to section 2(h) of the United States District Court for the Southern District of California's Electonic Case Filing Administrative Policies and Procedures Manual, available at www.casd.uscourts.gov.
If the fully executed joint motion for dismissal is not filed by May 17, 2022, then all counsel of record and unrepresented parties are required to appear in person for a Settlement Disposition Conference. The Settlement Disposition Conference will be held on May 31, 2022 at 9:30 a.m. in Courtroom 3D.
If counsel of record or any unrepresented party fails to appear at the Settlement Disposition Conference, or the parties fail to file the signed joint motion for dismissal in a timely manner, the Court will issue an order to show cause why sanctions should not be imposed for failing to comply with this Order.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
