authority (Nick v. Morgan's Foods, Inc., 270 F.3d 590, 596 (8th Cir. 2001)).

 The failure of any counsel, party or authorized person to appear at the 

Mandatory Settlement Conference as required shall be cause for the immediate 

imposition of sanctions. All conference discussions will be informal, off the 

record, privileged, and confidential. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
