Conference (Doc. #34) filed on June 28, 2012. On June 20, 2012, this Court issued a Settlement
Conference Order, which required, unless excused by Order of the Court, the attendance of
clients or client representatives with complete authority to negotiate and consummate a
settlement. (Doc. #33). Based on that Order, the Defendants filed this Motion seeking that the

Settlement Conference with full and complete authority to negotiate and consummate a
settlement on behalf of Dr. Lukasiewicz and on behalf of Cossu & Lukasiewicz, P.A.
Furthermore, Dr. Lukasiewicz must be available by telephone to answer any questions the Court
or Plaintiff may have during the Settlement Conference.

Accordingly, it is now
ORDERED:
Defendants' Unopposed Motion to Allow Defendant John L. Cossu Represent Defendant
Cyunthia Lukasiewicz at Settlement Conference (Doc. #34) is GRANTED.
