No. C-05-0792 MMC (EMC)

ORDER REQUIRING APPEARANCE

OF INSURANCE CARRIERS AT

SETTLEMENT CONFERENCE

Pursuant to this Court’s March 6, 2006 Notice of Settlement Conference and Settlement

Conference Order, the Court was informed by letter dated March 6, 2006 from David A. Clinton,

counsel for Defendants Intec Corporation and Jim Chamblee, that Defendants’ insurance carriers

The Hartford and ACE New Zealand would not be appearing and were declining to attend the

Settlement Conference scheduled in this case.

The Court DENIES the request to excuse personal attendance of insurance carrier The

Hartford and insurance carrier ACE New Zealand. The Court ORDERS that insurance carriers The

Hartford and ACE New Zealand appear at the Settlement Conference in person scheduled on March

24, 2006, at 9:30 a.m. Pacific Time. The representative from each insurance carrier shall have full

knowledge of the claim and/or case and full authority to negotiate a settlement. A person who needs

to call another person not present before agreeing to any settlement does not have full authority. 

Full authority means authority to accept the last demand or counter-offer by the other party.
