13

(Dkt. #58) filed October 14, 2015. The motion asks to vacate the settlement conference set

15

authority. The motion does not address the nature of the conflict, when the conflict developed,

16

or acknowledge that the district judge set this case for trial December 15, 2015. The December

18

with the need to schedule inmate settlement conferences on Fridays.
