UPDATED JOINT CASE MANAGEMENT STATEMENT & REQUEST TO VACATE CASE MANAGEMENT CONFERENCE & [PROPOSED] ORDER CMC
JOSEPH C. SPERO, Magistrate Judge.
The parties to the above-entitled actions jointly submit this UPDATED JOINT CASE MANAGEMENT STATEMENT & PROPOSED ORDER pursuant to this Court's Minute Entry dated April 28, 2014, Document No. 41. This statement updates the prior statement that was filed on April 16, 2014, Document No. 40.
The parties attended a mediation of these two related actions on June 9, 2014 with court appointed mediator Michael Dickstein. The actions did not settle during the mediation session. The mediator continued to work with the parties, who reached a settlement agreement in principle of both related, pending actions on June 29, 2014. Computer Sciences Corporation (CSC) sent a draft written settlement agreement to BizCloud, Inc. (BCI) on July 14, 2014.
On July 15, 2014, the mediator submitted a CERTIFICATION OF MEDIATION Session in case no. 3:14-cv-00162-JCS (Document No. 43) stating "Mediation session held; Case settled." This statement should apply to both pending, related actions. As of July 15, 2014, the parties had agreed on most of the terms of the settlement other than a few discrete issues. The parties continued to negotiate the outstanding issues. Today, August 1, 2014, the parties reached agreement on a final written settlement agreement that counsel for CSC has circulated for execution this afternoon.
The parties anticipate that the final written settlement agreement will be fully executed by either close of business today or close of business Monday, August 4, 2014. The parties have agreed on the form of the request for dismissal, which they anticipate will be filed in approximately one week to a week and a half.
Counsel for BCI is located in Chicago. In light of that fact and the imminent settlement of this action, the parties respectfully request that the Case Management Conference either be continued for two weeks or taken off calendar.
The parties and counsel very much appreciate the assistance of the court's mediation program and the mediation services of Mr. Dickstein.
ORDER VACATING/CONTINUING CASE MANAGEMENT CONFERENCE
For good cause shown, the Case Management Conference currently scheduled on August 8, 2014 is hereby vacated/continued to 8/22/14 at 2:00 PM
