9. The Mandatory Settlement Conference set for May 14, 2007, is continued to 

August 1, 2007, at 10:00 a.m. in the chambers of Magistrate Judge Cathy Ann Bencivengo. 

Counsel shall submit confidential settlement statements directly to chambers no later than July

25, 2007. Each party’s settlement statement shall set forth the party’s statement of the case, 

identify controlling legal issues, concisely set out issues of liability and damages, and shall set

separate statement of the offer or demand the party is prepared to make at the settlement 

conference. Settlement conference briefs shall not be filed with the Clerk of the Court, nor

defendants with full and unlimited authority to negotiate and enter into a binding settlement, as 

well as the principal attorney(s) responsible for the litigation, must be present and legally and 

factually prepared to discuss and resolve the case at the mandatory settlement conference. 

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. Failure to attend the conference or obtain 

proper excuse will be considered grounds for sanctions. 

10. All corresponding dates are vacated. 

11. All other dates remain the same. 

 12. The parties may request an additional extension of these dates upon a 

showing of good cause. 

 IT IS SO ORDERED.
