Settlement Conferences
This Court urges parties to undertake settlement negotiations at the earliest practicable point in the litigation. Parties who desire a settlement conference should request one in open court or file a motion requesting one. In bench trials, settlement conferences are usually referred to the magistrate judge.
Parties who participate in a settlement conference with Judge Valderrama must follow the standing instructions for settlement conferences available at the link below.
