negotiate and enter into a settlement. Failure to attend or obtain

proper excuse will be considered grounds for sanctions.

If Plaintiff is incarcerated in a penal institution or other

facility, the Plaintiff's presence is not required at conferences

before Judge Brooks, and the Plaintiff may participate by

telephone. In that case, defense counsel is to coordinate the

Plaintiff's appearance by telephone.

Confidential written settlement statements for the mandatory

settlement conference shall be lodged directly in the chambers of

Judge Brooks no later than five court days before the mandatory

settlement conference. The statements need not be filed with the

Clerk of the Court or served on opposing counsel. The statements

will not become part of the court file and will be returned at the

end of the conference upon request. Written statements may be

lodged with Judge Brooks either by mail or in person.

Any statement submitted should avoid arguing the case. 

Instead, the statement should include a neutral factual statement

of the case, identify controlling legal issues, and concisely set

out issues of liability and damages, including any settlement

demands and offers to date and address special and general damages

where applicable.

If appropriate, the Court will consider the use of other

alternative dispute resolution techniques.
