useful at this juncture. (ECF No. 45.) On June 4, the parties filed a joint statement in which they

agreed that a settlement conference would be useful and that both parties waive any claim of

disqualification from having the undersigned magistrate judge conduct that conference.

corpus ad testificandum from this court. If plaintiff will seek to appear by video

conference, plaintiff’s counsel shall confirm with the litigation coordinator at
