ORDER

THIS MATTER is before the Court on its own motion. The Court is aware that this case
is set for trial to begin on September 9, 2013. In light of the upcoming trial date, the Court
believes that a judicial settlement conference may be beneficial. Therefore, the Court directs the
parties to participate in a judicial settlement conference with Magistrate Judge David C. Keesler
on June 4, 2013 beginning at 9:30 a.m. Counsel for Plaintiff and Defendant shall attend the
conference together with the Plaintiff (or her representative with settlement authority) and a
representative from the Defendant Corporation with settlement authority. Parties shall report to
Magistrate Judge David Keesler’s chambers at 9:30 a.m. on June 4, 2013. If necessary, Judge
Keesler’s judicial assistant, Karen Burton, can be reached at 704-350-7430.

SO ORDERED.
