MINUTE ORDER issued by Courtroom Deputy for Chief Magistrate Judge Kendall J. Newman on 8/9/2022: After communication with the parties, this matter is RESET for Settlement Conference on 12/14/2022 at 9:30 AM before Chief Magistrate Judge Kendall J. Newman. The Settlement Conference will take place by remote means (Zoom). The parties will receive instructions closer to the hearing date on how to appear for the Settlement Conference. The parties are reminded to have a principal with full settlement authority present for the settlement conference or to be fully authorized to settle the matter on any terms. The individual with full settlement authority to settle must also have unfettered discretion and authority to change the settlement position of the party, if appropriate. The purpose behind requiring attendance of a person with full settlement authority is that the parties view of the case may be altered during the face to face conference. An authorization to settle for a limited dollar amount or sum certain can be found not to comply with the requirement of full authority to settle. The parties are directed to exchange non-confidential settlement conference statements seven days prior to the settlement conference. These statements shall be simultaneously delivered to the Court using the following email address: kjnorders@caed.uscourts.gov . These statements should not be filed on the case docket. If a party desires to share additional confidential information with the Court, they may do so pursuant to the provisions of Local Rule 270(d) and (e). (TEXT ONLY ENTRY) (Waldrop, A)
