 ORDER

Pending before the Court is the Plaintiff Hypercom's Motion for a Settlement

Conference (Doc. 143). Through its motion, Hypercom asks for the Court's intervention in

order to facilitate a Settlement Conference in this case. Specifically, Hypercom requests that

the Court "order and command the parties to appear and participate in good faith at a

settlement conference before either a private mediator or a Magistrate Judge pursuant to 28

U.S.C. § 6365(b)(1)(A) and LRCIV 72.2(a)(5)." 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 Defendant has not given its commitment to

participate in a settlement conference; therefore, the Plaintiff's motion must be denied.. If

the parties find that Court intervention is necessary, a joint request can be made for a

Settlement Conference to be held before the Court. Therefore,

IT IS ORDERED that the Plaintiff Hypercom's Motion for a Settlement Conference

(Doc. 143) is DENIED.
