The parties to this action shall each, no later than thirty (30) days from the date of the order, submit confidential statements as described below.

Such statements shall be limited to five (5) pages and shall include the following:
1) the party's assessment of whether the instant action is of the type that would benefit from a settlement proceeding;

IT IS SO ORDERED.
