response to the COVID-19 public emergency (“CJO #18”)1 which, among other things, 

suspends the requirement under Civil Local Rule 16.1(a) that settlement conferences be 

conducted in person to protect public safety and prevent the spread of COVID-19. See CJO 

#18 at ¶ 9. Accordingly, the Court MODIFIES the MSC to be telephonic for all attendees.

To facilitate this modification, the Court hereby ORDERS as follows:

1. Counsel and party representatives with full settlement authority for each 

party must be immediately available by telephone between the hours of 2:00 p.m. and 

5:00 p.m. on April 23, 2020. All participants shall be prepared to devote their full attention 

to this proceeding as if they were attending in person, e.g., attendees cannot be driving 

while speaking to the Court.

2. On April 23, 2020 at 2:00 p.m., counsel and party representatives must call 

the Court’s teleconference line at 1-877-873-8017, enter the access code 2924630, and 

press “*” when prompted for a security code. The Court will initially confer jointly with 

counsel and the parties. Immediately following the joint discussion, the Court will initiate 

separate, confidential calls with plaintiff and defendants, respectively. To this end, each 

party must provide the Court with a single phone number to use to initiate these calls. The 

telephone number provided for a party must be one the Court can use to reach each counsel 

and the party representative(s), who must be already conferenced on one line and ready to 

engage in settlement discussions. No later than April 20, 2020, counsel must e-mail the 

Court at efile_crawford@casd.uscourts.gov to provide a preferred phone number for the 

separate, confidential MSC discussions, and any other necessary call-in information for the 

Court (i.e., conference line passcodes).
