ORDER

Eastern District of Tennessee Local Rule 68.3 provides in part that “a judge of this Court

may refer any civil case for a judicial settlement conference. A judicially-hosted settlement

conference is an informal, flexible, noncoercive and voluntary conference designed to aid in

settlement of a case.” During the sixth day of trial, the parties represented to the Court that this

case was, pending a written agreement, resolved. As a result, the Court paused the trial and sent

the jury home until July 12. Given these circumstances and the crowded upcoming docket, this

case is hereby REFERRED to United States Magistrate Judge Christopher H. Steger for a

settlement conference to begin on June 24, 2022, at 10:00 a.m. The conference will last no

longer than two hours. Magistrate Judge Steger “shall retain complete discretion regarding the

format and the manner of carrying on the settlement conference.” He shall not discuss the

settlement conference with the undersigned except and unless progress is made toward

settlement. See E.D. Tenn. L.R. 68.3(c), (g). It is hereby ORDERED that one lawyer and one

party or party representative from each side shall attend the conference in person.
