This case is SET for a Settlement Conference on February 22, 2022, at 9:30 AM in

17

Courtroom 8 (BAM) before the undersigned. The attorneys who will try the case along with

Counsel for the parties shall contact Courtroom Deputy Esther Valdez at [phone]
or [e-mail] for the video and dial-in information for all parties.
No later than seven (7) days prior to the settlement conference, each party shall submit

directly to Judge McAuliffe’s chambers at [e-mail], a confidential

24

settlement conference statement. This statement should neither be filed with the clerk of the

1

The settlement statement should not be lengthy but shall include a brief recitation of the

2

facts, a discussion of the strengths and weaknesses of the case, an estimate of the cost and time

3

to be expended for further pretrial and trial matters, and the relief sought. The parties are also

4

directed to include a candid statement on the party’s position on settlement, including the

5

amount which the party will accept to settle, realistic settlement expectations, present

6

settlement proposals, and a history of past settlement discussions, offers, demands, and a report

7

on settlement efforts to date.

This Court will vacate the settlement conference if the Court finds the settlement

9

conference will be neither productive nor meaningful to attempt to resolve all or part of this

10

case. As far in advance of the settlement conference as possible, a party shall inform the Court

11

and other parties that it believes the case is not in a settlement posture so the Court may vacate

12

or reset the settlement conference. Otherwise the parties shall proceed with the settlement

13

conference in good faith to attempt to resolve all or part of the case.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
