The Court has read and considered the Joint Case Management Statement filed by the parties and now
issues the following tentative ruling:
NO APPEARANCE REQUIRED.
The matter is continued as requested by the parties to September 8, 2022 at 1:30 p.m. in this
department to give the parties the opportunity to continue their settlement discussions and possibly
resolve the dispute. If the parties have not made meaningful progress by that date, the Court will require

paid forthwith.
