appointment is for the limited purpose of assisting Plaintiff with preparing for and 

participating in a settlement conference. The appointment shall be contingent on plaintiff 

accepting appointment of counsel in this case. Appointed counsel shall file a written 

notice with the court if plaintiff declines appointment of counsel.
