ORDER GRANTING IN PART AND DENYING IN PART PLAINTIFF'S MOTION FOR ADMINISTRATIVE RELIEF
Re: Dkt. No. 62
KANDIS A. WESTMORE, Magistrate Judge.
On May 31, 2016, Plaintiff Mitsui O.S.K. Lines, Ltd. filed a motion for administrative relief to extend the deadline to finalize the settlement and file dismissal, and to request a referral to a magistrate judge for the purposes of settlement. (Dkt. No. 62.) On June 2, 2016, Defendant Troy Container Line, Ltd. filed a response to the motion, wherein it did not oppose an extension of time to finalize the settlement, but objected to a settlement conference referral. (Dkt. No. 63.)
In light of the foregoing, the Court GRANTS the motion as it pertains to the extension of time, but DENIES the request for a settlement conference referral. The parties shall have until August 1, 2016 to either file a dismissal, or, if the case is not resolved, a joint status report. If the case is not fully resolved, the Court will schedule a case management conference.
The parties are reminded of their obligation to meet and confer prior to engaging in motion practice pursuant to the Northern District's Guidelines for Professional Conduct (available at http://cand.uscourts.gov/professional_conduct_guidelines).
IT IS SO ORDERED.
