 ORDER

Pending before the Court is the Defendants' Request for Settlement Conference and

Concurrent Stay of Pending Deadlines (Doc. 19 ). Through the motion, Defendants ask for

the Court's intervention in order to facilitate a Settlement Conference in this case.

Specifically, Defendants request that the Court "appoint a magistrate judge to conduct a

formal settlement conference ... at the earliest date and time convenient to the court and

counsel." However, it is the Court's policy to refrain from ordering parties to attend any type

of settlement conference or mediation unless all parties are in agreement. Presently, the

Plaintiffs have not given their commitment to participate in a settlement conference;

therefore, the Defendants' motion must be denied. If the parties find that Court intervention

is necessary in the future, a joint request can be made. Therefore,

IT IS ORDERED that the Defendants' Request for Settlement Conference and

Concurrent Stay of Pending Deadlines (Doc. 19) is DENIED.
