counsel shall confer with the appropriate personnel at Plaintiff’s place of
incarceration to ensure that the necessary accommodations are made to allow
Plaintiff to participate in the settlement conference.
Defendants and their counsel may participate in the conference from any

conference on behalf of Defendants, to the extent Defendants themselves do
not have such authority. Any such person shall also participate using the same
conference line as Defendants and their counsel.
Any request seeking permission to modify the terms of this Order shall
be filed no later than February 24, 2021 or be subject to summary denial.
It is so ordered.
