No. CV-07-0204-PHX-SMM

ORDER

Pending before the Court is the Motion for Miscellaneous Relief (Doc. 25) filed by

Defendant, John E Potter, Postmaster General, United States Postal Service, pursuant to L.R.

Civ. 7.2, wherein he requests that the Court waive the requirement set forth at Paragraph 2

of the Order Setting Rule 16 Preliminary Pretrial Conference (Doc. 18), that “each party, or

a representative of each party (who is not counsel of record) with binding settlement

authority if the party is an entity, shall be present at the preliminary pretrial conference.”

Because of the unique restrictions and regulations that apply to the Department of

Justice and its ability to settle cases involving agencies of the United States, Defendant

requests that the aforementioned provision be waived for purposes of the Rule 16 scheduling

conference. See United States Attorneys Manual § 4-5.230, 28 C.F.R. § 0.172 et al.; 28

C.F.R. Pt. O, App. to Subpt. Y, Civil Division Directive No. 176-922, Section 1(e)(3)

(outlining settlement structures within the Justice Department).
