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

does not have unlimited 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.

The Settlement Conference Statements should not be electronically filed with the Clerk of

the Court, and need not be served on opposing counsel. The parties are encouraged, however, to

exchange Settlement Conference Statements. If Settlement Conference Statements are exchanged,

any party may submit an additional confidential settlement letter to the Court not to exceed three (3)

pages. The contents of this confidential settlement letter will not be disclosed to the other parties.

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

the date set for Settlement Conference. All other provisions of this Court’s March 21, 2007 “Notice

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

IT IS SO ORDERED.
