Plaintiff appeared with her appointed counsel along with her adult daughter. Defendant Wal-Mart appeared through its counsel and a company representative with the authority to settle this matter. Third-Party Defendant U.S. Xpress, Inc. appeared through its attorneys, but no one from Liberty Mutual Insurance ("Liberty Mutual"), the entity that has the authority to settle this matter on behalf of U.S. Xpress, appeared. The failure of U.S. Xpress to ensure the appearance of someone with the authority to settle on its behalf violated the court's standing order on "Settlement Conferences" and the order of March 9, 2015. The court spent two and a half hours with the parties discussing settlement, but once it realized that a representative from Liberty Mutual with the authority to settle failed to appear in person and when it became clear that Liberty Mutual was not going to negotiate in good faith, despite the fact that U.S. Xpress insisted on having a global settlement discussion to settle this action along with the pending worker's compensation action that remains pending between Plaintiff and U.S. Xpress, the court terminated the settlement conference. Afterwards, counsel for U.S. Xpress, Attorney Burke, asked for some time to determine if the failed settlement negotiation can be salvaged. Attorney Burke's request is granted. A status hearing is scheduled for May 13, 2015, at 12:00 p.m. by phone for an update from the parties. The conference call number for the status hearing is (877) 336-1839 and the passcode is 4333213. U.S. Xpress has until May 20, 2015, to show good cause why it should not be sanctioned for its failure to comply with the court's standing order on "Settlement Conferences" and the order of March 9, 2015. If U.S. Xpress needs to submit declarations revealing attorney-client communications, it may do so by filing them under seal. If U.S. Xpress fails to show good cause, the court will impose monetary sanctions. Mailed notice. (is, ) (Entered: 05/05/2015)" @default.
