This action has been referred to the undersigned for a settlement conference and a
settlement conference is currently set for August 21, 2017 at 8:30 a.m. in Courtroom 9 before the

the case shall appear at the Settlement Conference with the parties and the person or persons
having full authority to negotiate and settle the case on any terms at the conference.

The Court will vacate the settlement conference if Plaintiff fails to file a confidential
settlement statement in compliance with this order or finds the settlement conference will be
neither productive nor meaningful to attempt to resolve all or part of this case. The court will
note this is the second time the Court has had to advise the Plaintiff of this apparent fact. Plaintiff
is advised that a Court cannot conduct a conference without a settlement conference statement.
