On November 1, 2018 the court conducted a status conference in this matter.
17

18
the court clarified the parties’ desire to amend the scheduling order consistent with the modified
19
site inspection deadline approved in the court’s August 2, 2018 order. See ECF No. 21. In
20
accordance with the parties’ request, the scheduling dates are modified as follows:

Additionally, at the conference the parties expressed their desire to have this

2

matter referred to a Magistrate Judge for early settlement conference. Accordingly, this matter is

3

set for settlement conference on December 4, 2018 at 9:30 AM before Magistrate Judge

4

Carolyn K. Delaney in Courtroom 24. The parties are instructed to have a principal with full

5

settlement authority present at the settlement conference or to be fully authorized to settle the

6

matter on any terms. The individual with full authority to settle must also have “unfettered

7

discretion and authority” to change the settlement position of the party, if appropriate. The

8

purpose behind requiring the attendance of a person with full settlement authority is that the

9

parties’ view of the case may be altered during the face to face conference. An authorization to

10

settle for a limited dollar amount or sum certain can be found not to comply with the requirement

11

of full authority to settle. The parties are directed to submit their confidential settlement

12

conference statements to the court using the following email address:

13

[e-mail]. If a party desires to share additional confidential information with

14

the court, they may do so pursuant to the provisions of Local Rule 270(d) and (e). Statements are

15

due at least 7 days prior to the Settlement Conference. Upon submission of confidential

16

settlement statements, each party shall file on the docket a "Notice of Submission of Settlement

17

Conference Statement.”

18
19

IT IS SO ORDERED.
DATED: November 6, 2018.
