		order Order Tue 07/19 2:04 PM Order [non-document] The Final Pretrial Conference in this matter is currently set for August 23, 2022 at 1:30 p.m. Pursuant to this Court's Civil Trial Order, "the parties and lead counsel of record must be present {at the Final Pretrial Conference} and prepared with full authority to discuss all aspects of the case, including... settlement." (Doc. No.19 at 1.) The Court clarifies this Order as follows. For a plaintiff, "full authority" means final authority to dismiss the case with prejudice and to accept in settlement an amount or terms down to the defendant's last offer. For a defendant, "full authority" means final authority to commit a defendant to pay, in the representative's own discretion, a settlement amount up to the plaintiff's last demand. If a representative must make a telephone call or otherwise communicate with a person not in attendance to authorize a demand or offer, then that representative does not have full authority as required. In addition, in cases where a party requires authority from an insurer to settle the case, the party must ensure that a representative of the insurance company with full authority to settle the case attends the conference. In the instant case, Plaintiff and Defendant are advised that they must ensure that parties and party representatives with "full authority" as defined herein personally attend the Final Pretrial Conference in this matter.
