The parties and counsel shall be present at the Settlement Conference. Counsel shall have parties present who have full authority to negotiate all terms and demands presented by the case, and full authority to enter into a settlement agreement, including an adjustor if an insurance company is involved.

If any person has limits upon the extent or amount within which he or she is authorized to settle on behalf of a party, that person does not have "full authority."
No party shall be permitted to attend the settlement conference by phone unless that party has obtained leave of Court following the filing of an appropriate motion, no later than five (5) business days prior to the settlement conference date.
The parties shall e-mail their Confidential Settlement Statements to chambers with a subject line "Confidential Settlement Statement" and their CASE NUMBER, and DATE OF THE SETTLEMENT CONFERENCE to: Watanabe Chambers@cod.uscourts.gov, no later than five (5) business days prior to the settlement conference date. The Confidential Settlement Statement should be in PDF format and sent as an attachment to the e-mail.
