ENTERED BY MAGISTRATE JUDGE KRISTEN L. MIX
This matter is before the Court on the parties’ Joint Motion for Settlement
Conference With Honorable United States Magistrate Judge Michael E. Hegarty [#34]
(the “Motion”). In the Motion, the parties request that a Magistrate Judge be assigned to
this case to hold a settlement conference. Motion [#34] at 1. They specifically request that
Magistrate Judge Hegarty be assigned to this case. Id. The Court agrees with the parties
that it is appropriate to refer this case to a Magistrate Judge for settlement discussions.
However, the Court declines to assign this case to any particular Magistrate Judge, as the
case must be randomly assigned through the Clerk of the Court. Accordingly,
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the Motion [#34] is GRANTED in part and DENIED
in part. The Motion is granted to the extent that it requests that this case be assigned to
a Magistrate Judge for the purpose of holding a settlement conference. Because the
undersigned proceeds in this matter pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(c) by the consent of the
parties,
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Clerk of Court shall additionally assign a United
States Magistrate Judge to this case for the purpose of conducting a Settlement
Conference.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the newly-assigned Magistrate Judge is authorized
to and shall conduct a Settlement Conference in this matter as requested by the parties in
the Motion [#34].
