Honorable Susan Illston. In that Conference, Judge Illston indicated that she would refer this case 

for a settlement conference to be held in May 2007. This is reflected in subsequent minute order, 

which states: "[T]his case shall be referred to a magistrate-judgment [sic] for settlement purposes. 

The settlement conference shall occur in May 2007." A true and correct copy of Judge Illston's 

order is attached hereto as Exhibit A. 

On March 28, 2007, at or about 4:39 p.m., the parties received via the Electronic Case 

Filing ("ECF") system a Notice of Settlement Conference and Settlement Conference Order 

("Order") scheduling the settlement conference for April 6, 2007 at 10:00 a.m. Attached hereto is 

a true and correct copy of the ECF transmittal email and Order. The Order provided the parties 

with only 9 days notice of the settlement conference. Further, the Order directed each party to 

submit a confidential settlement conference statement 7 calendar days prior to the conference, 

effectively providing each party with less than 48 hours to prepare its statement. 

In a conversation with Judge Larson's clerk on March 29, 2007, defendant's counsel's 

assistant was told that the April 6 th date was set by the judge's secretary, and could not be changed 

until she returned to work. He was told that she might not return until March 30 th, the day the 

statements would be due. 

In light of the foregoing, the parties believe that the Order setting the settlement conference 

for April 6, 2007 was a clerical error. They therefore jointly request that this error be corrected, 

and that the settlement conference be reset for a date in May 2007 pursuant to Judge Illston's 

order.
