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

facts, a discussion of the strengths and weaknesses of the case, an estimate of the cost and time 

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

directed to include a candid statement on the party’s position on settlement, including the 

amount which the party will accept to settle, realistic settlement expectations, present 

settlement proposals, and a history of past settlement discussions, offers, demands, and a report 

on settlement efforts to date.

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

conference will be neither productive nor meaningful to attempt to resolve all or part of this 

case. As far in advance of the settlement conference as possible, a party shall inform the Court 

and other parties that it believes the case is not in a settlement posture so the Court may vacate 

or reset the settlement conference. Otherwise, the parties shall proceed with the settlement 

conference in good faith to attempt to resolve all or part of the case.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
