TO ALL PARTIES AND COUNSEL OF RECORD:
You are hereby notified that a settlement conference is scheduled in this case for 9:00 a.m. on
February 6, 2013, at Solano State Prison.
Defense Counsel is ORDERED to meet and confer telephonically with Plaintiff to discuss

19

settlement of this case no later than three weeks prior to the settlement conference. The legal

20

representative of the CDCR must be present at this telephonic meeting.

21

The matter is HEREBY SET for a telephonic status conference on January 29, 2013, at 1:00

22

p.m.. The parties shall dial 888-684-8852, enter access code 1868782 and security code 7416. At

23

the status conference, Counsel shall report on the outcome of their meeting regarding settlement.

24

Defense counsel shall provide for the telephonic appearance of Plaintiff.

25

Lead trial counsel shall appear at the settlement conference, with the parties and persons

26

having full authority to negotiate and settle the case. A person who needs to call another person

27

not present before agreeing to any settlement does not have full authority. To the extent that

28

such consultations are necessary, they must be made in advance of the settlement conference.

Personal attendance of a party representative will rarely be excused by the Court, and then

2

only upon separate written application demonstrating substantial hardship served on opposing

3

counsel and lodged as early as the basis for the hardship is known.

Confidential settlement conference statements shall be mailed and emailed

5

([e-mail]) to and received by chambers no later than two weeks prior to the

6

settlement conference. In their settlement conference statements, the parties shall report on the

submitted in writing as soon as possible well in advance of the scheduled conference date. Requests
to vacate the settlement referral must be made to the referring Judge, not Magistrate Judge Vadas.
