Case No. 2:14-cv-01372-JAD-PAL

Before the court is the United States’ Motion for Relief from Requirement that Individual

13

with Full Settlement Authority Attend the Settlement Conference (Dkt. #68).

14

requests that the trial attorneys for the government be present in person for the settlement

15

conference scheduled for August 13, 2015, at 9:30 a.m., but that the individual with full

16

settlement authority be available by phone. The United States represents that the person with

17

settlement authority is the Chief of the Office of review who oversees hundreds of potential

18

settlements of the Tax Division, Ann Carroll Reid. The Tax Division employs more than 300

19

attorneys and it is impractical for her to appear for settlement conferences throughout the United

20

States. For good cause shown,

The motion

21

IT IS ORDERED that the Request for Exemption is GRANTED. The trial attorney for

22

the government shall be present at the settlement conference, and Ms. Reid, who has full

23

settlement authority, shall be available by phone for the duration of the settlement conference.

24

DATED this 27th day of July, 2015.
