Each party is ordered to have a principal with full 

settlement authority present at the conference or be fully 

authorized to settle the matter on any terms. No later than 

seven days before the date of the settlement conference, counsel 

for each party shall submit a confidential Settlement Conference 

Statement to the settlement judge. Such statements shall not be 

filed, but shall be emailed to GGHOrders@caed.uscourts.gov. Upon 

emailing the Settlement Conference Statement, each party shall efile a one page document entitled “Notice of Submission of 

Confidential Settlement Conference Statement.”

No later than seven days before the date of the early 

settlement conference, counsel for each party shall file a waiver 

of disqualification of the assigned magistrate judge pursuant to 

Local Rule 270(b). Absent the filing of a waiver of 

disqualification by each party, the settlement conference will be 

vacated and reassigned to another magistrate judge. 

To avoid the unnecessary expenditure of costs and 

attorneys’ fees, this action is hereby stayed pending conclusion 

of the early settlement conference. No later than five days 

after the settlement conference, the parties shall file a joint 

statement indicating whether a settlement was reached. 

The court hereby resets the Status (Pretrial 

Scheduling) Conference to February 27, 2017 at 1:30pm. If a 

settlement is not reached at the early settlement conference, the 

parties shall submit an Amended Joint Status Report no later than 

February 13, 2017.
