ORDER RE: CASE MANAGEMENT

The Court has ordered the following after review of the case.

PARTIES SANCTIONED FOR FAILING TO COMPLETE MEDIATION

In the TRIAL SETTING ORDER dated JULY 14, 2025, the parties were ordered to complete mediation by JUNE 01, 2026. A CMC was set for JULY 06, 2026, for the express purpose of confirming that mediation had been completed.

CMC Statements were filed no explanation was offered for the failure to abide by the Court’s Order.

Accordingly, as the TRIAL SETTING ORDER said could occur, each party is now sanctioned $500 for failure to complete mediation as ordered. Sanctions are due in full the first day of trial.

However, if Mediation is completed or a Notice of Settlement is filed before the Mandatory Settlement Conference now set for AUGUST 06, 2026 at 9 am in Dept 302, the sanctions will be vacated.
