ORDER
This matter comes before the Court on Unopposed Motion to be Excused from
Settlement Conference (Doc. #224) filed on February 15, 2013. Attorney Wallace C. von Arx
filed the instant Motion representing the owners and holders of the worker’s compensation lien.

handle the reimbursement of the lien pursuant to any settlement or trial. Thus, counsel is seeking

27, 2013. Counsel for all parties have been contacted and have consented. Thus, for good cause
shown and because the Motion is unopposed, it is due to be granted. Owners and holders of the
worker’s compensation lien and their counsel are excused from attending the settlement
conference.
Accordingly, it is now

ORDERED:
Unopposed Motion to be Excused from Settlement Conference (Doc. #224) is
