TO ALL PARTIES AND COUNSEL OF RECORD:
You are hereby notified that a settlement conference is scheduled in this case for 10:00

16

a.m. on August 26, 2015. The settlement conference will be conducted via video conferencing,

17

with counsel appearing from the Courtroom D on the 15th floor of the United States Courthouse in

18

San Francisco, and the Court appearing from Eureka. Plaintiff's counsel shall make Plaintiff

19

available by telephone. Plaintiff shall call into the settlement conference by dialing 888-684-8852

20

and entering access code 1868782.

21

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

22

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

23

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

24

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

25

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

26

only upon separate written application demonstrating substantial hardship served on opposing

27

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

28

Confidential settlement conference statements shall be mailed or emailed

1

([e-mail]) to and received by chambers no later than 4:30 p.m. on August 20,

2

2015. The parties shall report on the outcome of their settlement discussions in their settlement

3

conference statements.

4

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

5

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

6

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

7

Judge Vadas.
