v.

VOCUS, INC.,

Defendant.

Case No. 14-cv-00337-RS (SK)

NOTICE OF SETTLEMENT

CONFERENCE AND SETTLEMENT 

CONFERENCE ORDER

TO ALL PARTIES AND COUNSEL OF RECORD:

The above matter was referred to Magistrate Judge Sallie Kim for settlement purposes. 

You are hereby notified that a Settlement Conference is scheduled for July 22, 2016 at 

1:00 p.m. in Courtroom A, 15th Floor, Federal Building, 450 Golden Gate Avenue, San 

Francisco, California 94102. 

It is the responsibility of counsel to ensure that whatever discovery is needed for all sides 

to evaluate the case for settlement purposes is completed by the date of the Settlement Conference. 

Counsel shall cooperate in providing discovery informally and expeditiously.

Lead trial counsel shall appear at the Settlement Conference with the parties. Any party 

who is not a natural person shall be represented by the person(s) with unlimited authority to 

negotiate a settlement. A person who needs to call another person not present before agreeing to 

any settlement does not have full authority. An insured party shall appear with a representative of 

the carrier with full authority to negotiate up to the limits of coverage. 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 but no later than the Settlement Conference Statement.
