SUPERIOR COURT OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA

FOR THE COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES - CENTRAL DISTRICT

On February 14, 2023, Plaintiff F. Penel (“Plaintiff”) filed the instant Motion to Vacate Default on Time to Designate an Expert Witness setting it for hearing for March 21, 2023.  On March 9, 2023, Plaintiff filed a Notice of Settlement of Entire Case providing that an unconditional settlement has been reached and a request for dismissal will be filed within 45 days of the settlement date.  No party has filed anything additional relating to this motion.  The Court presumes the motion is moot and not going forward.  The Court thus will take the motion off-calendar.

Plaintiff is ordered to give notice.
