April 13, 2023 Opinion or Order Filing 30 Telephonic pre-settlement conference set for April 18, 2023 at 10:30 a.m. before Judge Thomas O. Farrish. Telephone connection information will be e-mailed to all appearing counsel by Judge Farrish's courtroom deputy at their e-mail address of record.A date for the settlement conference will be set during the telephone call.

Counsel should also have their own calendars available to aid in scheduling. During the telephone call, counsel should be prepared to discuss what, if any, information needs to be exchanged and anything else that needs to be accomplished prior to the settlement conference to maximize its chances of success.If either counsel has a firm, unavoidable conflict at the appointed date and time, e.g., a previously-scheduled appearance in another court, s/he should not file a motion for continuance on the docket but rather should call Chambers at 860-240-3605 as soon as possible with opposing counsel on the line to work out an alternate day and time for the pre-conference with Judge Farrish's law clerk. It is so ordered. Signed by Judge Thomas O. Farrish on 4/13/23.(Wood, R.)
