EUREKA DIVISION

MERRICK JOSE MOORE,

Plaintiff,

v.

L. STEPP, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 11-cv-05395-CW (NJV)

ORDER RE SETTLEMENT 

CONFERENCE IN PRO SE PRISONER 

EARLY SETTLEMENT PROGRAM

Re: Dkt. No. 131

TO ALL PARTIES AND COUNSEL OF RECORD:

A settlement conference is scheduled in this case for 10:00 a.m. on December 22, 2015 in 

Courtroom D of Federal Courthouse at 450 Golden Gate Avenue in San Francisco. Plaintiff, who 

is represented by counsel, shall be available by telephone. Plaintiff's counsel shall arrange for 

Plaintiff to call into the settlement conference by dialing 888-684-8852 and entering access code 

1868782.

Lead trial counsel shall appear at the settlement conference, with the parties and persons 

having full authority to negotiate and settle the case. A person who needs to call another person 

not present before agreeing to any settlement does not have full authority. To the extent that such 

consultations are necessary, they must be made in advance of the settlement conference. 

Personal attendance of a party representative will rarely be excused by the Court, and then 

only upon separate written application demonstrating substantial hardship served on opposing 

counsel and lodged as early as the basis for the hardship is known.

Confidential settlement conference statements shall be mailed or emailed 

(NJVpo@cand.uscourts.gov) to and received by chambers no later than December 15, 2015.
