Counsel for the defendant(s) is directed to confirm with the court via awaldrop@caed.uscourts.gov, one week prior to the scheduled settlement conference and report on the institution's ability, in light of any COVID-19 restrictions, if the settlement conference can go forward and by which means. The parties are instructed to have a principal with full settlement authority present for the settlement conference or to be fully authorized to settle the matter on any terms. The individual with full settlement authority to settle must also have unfettered discretion and authority to change the settlement position of the party, if appropriate.
