the settlement. 

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

discussions on March 14, it appears that the settlement was not negotiated in good 

faith or that the efforts post-settlement were done in bad faith, the Court will 

conduct an evidentiary hearing during the March 15, 2016 conference and impose

sanctions against the offending party, which may include counsel and/or parties.

3. If the parties are able to settle this matter without Court intervention, they shall
