- ilnd;;1:12-cv-09229_de24 RegisterActionDescriptionText "MINUTE entry before the Honorable Jeffrey Cole:The plaintiff's demand is 150 times greater than the defendants' offer. Without making any determination of the good faith underlying either the demand or the offer, beginning a settlement conference on this basis seems inefficient. Accordingly, counsel are ordered to have an immediate settlement conference today (10/15/2013) either face to face or on the phone in an attempt to bridge this very large gap. It may well be that the parties are wedded to numbers near the current ones and that is perfectly fine. Parties are entitled to have their day in court without being coerced into settling cases. See Goss Graphics Sys., Inc. v. Dev Indus., Inc., 267 F.3d 624, 627 (7th Cir. 2001); Strandell v. Jackson County, Illinois, 838 F.2d 884, 887 (7th Cir. 1988). But it is valuable for the parties to know in advance of the settlement conference whether their positions are sufficiently flexible that a settlement conference might be productive. The parties are directed to contact the court not later than 2:00 pm on 12/12/2013 at 312-435-5601 (chambers) to report on the results of their face to face conference. It will then be determined if there is any point in proceeding with the conference on 12/13/2013.Mailed notice (jms, ) (Entered: 12/11/2013)" @default.
