EUREKA DIVISION

TOMAS G. GRAJEDA,

Plaintiff,

v.

S. RODGERS,

Defendants.

Case No. 14-cv-00955-JD (NJV)

ORDER RE SETTLEMENT 

CONFERENCE

Re: Dkt. No. 38

A video settlement conference has been set in this case for April 18, 2016, at 10:00 a.m. 

Plaintiff will participate from Corcoran State Prison, Defense Counsel will participate from 

Courtroom D of the Federal Courthouse in San Francisco, and the court will participate from the 

McKinleyville Courthouse.

Defense counsel is ORDERED to meet and confer telephonically with Plaintiff to discuss 

settlement of this case no later than April 13, 2016.

Lead trial counsel shall appear at the settlement conference with the parties and persons 

having full authority to negotiate and settle the case. A person who needs to call another person 

not present before agreeing to any settlement does not have full authority. To the extent that such 

consultations are necessary, they must be made in advance of the settlement conference. 

Personal attendance of a party representative will rarely be excused by the Court, and then 

only upon separate written application demonstrating substantial hardship served on opposing 

counsel and lodged as early as the basis for the hardship is known.

Confidential settlement conference statements shall be mailed to the court (3140 Boeing 

Avenue, McKinleyville, CA 95519) or emailed (NJVpo@cand.uscourts.gov) to and received by
