20 May 2, 2017 at 9:30 am in Courtroom 8 at the U.S. District Court, 2500 Tulare Street, Fresno,

23 having full authority to negotiate and settle the case, on any terms, at the conference. 

24 No later than seven days prior to the settlement conference, each party shall submit directly to

1 mandatory settlement conference indicated prominently.

2 The settlement statement should not be lengthy but shall include a brief recitation of the facts,

3 a discussion of the strengths and weaknesses of the case, an estimate of the cost and time to be

4 expended for further pretrial and trial matters, and the relief sought. The parties are also directed to

5 include a candid statement on the party’s position on settlement, including the amount which the

6 party will accept to settle, realistic settlement expectations, present settlement proposals, and a

7 history of past settlement discussions, offers, demands, and a report on settlement efforts to date.

8 This Court will vacate the settlement conference if the Court finds the settlement conference

9 will be neither productive nor meaningful to attempt to resolve all or part of this case. As far in

10 advance of the settlement conference as possible, a party shall inform the Court and other parties that

11 it believes the case is not in a settlement posture so the Court may vacate or reset the settlement

12 conference. Otherwise the parties shall proceed with the settlement conference in good faith to attempt

13 to resolve all or part of the case.
