TO ALL PARTIES AND COUNSEL OF RECORD:
16
You are hereby notified that pursuant to the status conference of September 18, 2012, a
17
settlement conference is scheduled in this case for Thursday, November 29, 2012, at 9:00 a.m. at
18
Solano State Prison. The court will issue a writ for the appearance of Plaintiff.
19
Lead trial counsel shall appear at the settlement conference with the parties and persons
20
having full authority to negotiate and settle the case. A person who needs to call another person
21
not present before agreeing to any settlement does not have full authority. To the extent that
22
such consultations are necessary, they must be made in advance of the settlement conference.
23
Personal attendance of a party representative will rarely be excused by the Court, and then
24
only upon separate written application demonstrating substantial hardship served on opposing
25
counsel and lodged as early as the basis for the hardship is known.
26
Confidential settlement conference statements shall be mailed or emailed
27
([e-mail]) to and received by chambers no later than two weeks prior to the
28
settlement conference.

1

Any request to continue the settlement conference shall state the reason therefor and be

2

submitted in writing as soon as possible well in advance of the scheduled conference date. Requests

3

to vacate the settlement referral must be made to the referring Judge, not Magistrate Judge Vadas.

4

The parties shall notify the undersigned's Chambers immediately at [phone] if this

5

case settles prior to the date set for the settlement conference.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
