A settlement conference is set while the evidence awaits judgment

After the September 16 evidence filing, A-Zhen was helping counsel organize the materials. A-Zhen entered the conference in her calendar and checked its date and chair. The filing had given way to a period of awaiting a response and preparing for the conference.

After the September 16 evidence filing, A-Zhen was helping counsel organize the materials. The presiding judge had assigned a magistrate judge to lead a settlement conference several weeks away. She needed to keep that new procedural date distinct from the ongoing preparations for summary judgment.

A-Zhen entered the conference in her calendar and checked its date and chair. A photo showing lawyers for both sides together then circulated. Some in the group guessed that the other side was calculating the cost of continuing the case; she reminded them that neither the photo nor the scheduled conference showed that any terms had been offered. XAI was quoted at $0.007582, up 5.6% from the previous close.

The filing had given way to a period of awaiting a response and preparing for the conference. Counsel would need an organized account of its arguments at the table. People began weighing the possibility of a settlement, but no one knew what either side might propose. A-Zhen kept organizing the evidence, and the court had yet to rule on it.
