forth the party's statement of the case, identify controlling legal issues, concisely set out

issues of liability and damages, and shall set forth the party's settlement position,

including the last offer or demand made by that party, and a separate statement of the

offer or demand the party is prepared to make at the Mandatory Settlement Conference. 

The settlement conference briefs shall not be filed with the Clerk of the Court. 

All named parties, all counsel, and any other person(s) whose authority is

required to negotiate and enter into settlement shall appear in person at the

conference. The individual(s) present at the Mandatory Settlement Conference with

settlement authority must have the unfettered discretion and authority on behalf of

the party to: 1) fully explore all settlement options and to agree during the

Mandatory Settlement Conference to any settlement terms acceptable to the party

(G. Heileman Brewing Co., Inc. v. Joseph Oat Corp., 871 F.2d 648, 653 (7th Cir.

1989)), 2) change the settlement position of a party during the course of the

Mandatory Settlement Conference (Pitman v. Brinker Int'l, Inc., 216 F.R.D. 481, 485-

86 (D. Ariz. 2003)), and 3) negotiate a settlement without being restricted by any

predetermined level of authority (Nick v. Morgan's Foods, Inc., 270 F.3d 590, 596

(8th Cir. 2001)).

Governmental entities may appear through litigation counsel only. As to all other

parties, appearance by litigation counsel only is not acceptable. Retained outside

corporate counsel shall not appear on behalf of a corporation as the party who has the

authority to negotiate and enter into a settlement. The failure of any counsel, party or

authorized person to appear at the Mandatory Settlement Conference as required

shall be cause for the immediate imposition of sanctions. All conference discussions

will be informal, off the record, privileged, and confidential.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
