Case No. 12-CV-1149-JM (JMA)

ORDER SCHEDULING SETTLEMENT/

CASE MANAGEMENT CONFERENCE

The Court convened a telephonic Early Neutral Evaluation Conference on June

15, 2012 at 9:30 a.m. IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that a Settlement/Case Management

Conference will be held in the chambers of Magistrate Judge Jan M. Adler on August 7,

2012 at 10:00 a.m., United States Courthouse, 940 Front Street, San Diego, California 

92101-8928. 

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 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

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 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 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.

In the event the case does not settle at the Settlement Conference, the parties

shall also be prepared to discuss the following matters at the conclusion of the

conference:

1. Any anticipated objections under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26(a)(1)

to the initial disclosure provisions of Rule 26(a)(1)(A-E);

2. The scheduling of the Rule 26(f) conference;

3. The date of initial disclosures and the date for lodging the discovery plan

following the Rule 26(f) conference; and

4. The scheduling of a Case Management Conference pursuant to Rule

16(b).

IT IS SO ORDERED.
