2007, at 9:30 a.m., in Courtroom A, 15th Floor, Federal Building, 450 Golden Gate Avenue, San

Francisco, California 94102.

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 Further Settlement Conference with the parties who

have full and unlimited authority to negotiate and settle the matter. 

Any party who is not a natural person shall be represented by the person or persons not

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

does not have full authority. If a party is a governmental entity, its governing body shall designate

recommend the agreement to the governmental entity for its approval. 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.

Each party shall prepare an updated settlement conference statement, which must be lodged

with the undersigned's chambers no later than August 22, 2007. 

The parties shall notify chambers immediately at (415) 522-3691 if this case settles prior to

the date set for the Further Settlement Conference. All other provisions of this Court's original

Notice of Settlement Conference and Settlement Conference Order remain in effect.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
