ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE RE SETTLEMENT

VIRGINIA K. DEMARCHI, Magistrate Judge.

Based on the representations the parties made in their notice of settlement (Dkt. No. 33) and subsequent status report (Dkt. No. 35), the Court VACATES all previously scheduled deadlines and appearances. Pursuant to plaintiff's request, the Court terminates the pending unopposed motion for leave to amend the complaint (Dkt. No. 32). Dkt. No. 35 at 2.

On or before January 6, 2020, the parties shall file a stipulated dismissal pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(a)(1)(ii). Rule 41(a)(1) permits a plaintiff to voluntarily dismiss a case without a court order (i) by notice if the defendants have not filed an answer or motion for summary judgment, or (ii) by stipulation signed by all parties who have appeared. Because defendants have filed an answer to the complaint, plaintiff must file a stipulated dismissal pursuant to Rule 41(a)(1)(ii).

If a dismissal is not filed by the specified date, then the parties shall appear in Courtroom 2, 5th Floor, 280 South First Street, San Jose, California 95113 on January 14, 2020 at 10:00 a.m. and show cause, if any, why the case should not be dismissed pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(a). Additionally, the parties shall file a statement in response to this Order to Show Cause no later than January 7, 2020 advising as to (1) the status of the activities of the parties in finalizing settlement; and (2) how much additional time, if any, is requested to finalize the settlement and file the dismissal. If a dismissal is filed as ordered, the Order to Show Cause hearing will be automatically vacated and the parties need not file a statement in response to this Order.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
