(1) Settlement Conference Statement: At least five days before the settlement conference, each party shall serve and file a settlement conference statement, which shall identify the positions of the various parties, shall include settlement positions and demands, shall itemize economic and noneconomic damages, and shall recite a brief summary of the facts and law upon which the filing party relies. Parties are hereby notified that settlement conferences often require significant investment of time, and parties shall be available for the entire day of a scheduled settlement conference unless otherwise directed by the Court. (2) Sanctions: The settlement conference judge may issue sanctions for failure to comply with rules applying to settlement conferences. Said sanctions may include striking out all or any part of any pleading of the offending party and/or dismissal of the action or striking an answer to allow default.

Terminating sanctions shall be used only after the Court has directed a party to remedy the failure to comply with the rules. B. Case Management Conferences Case Management Conferences will be set upon the filing of a new case and additional conferences set as determined by the court. All parties who have appeared in a case must file a Case Management Conference Statement (CM-110) 5 days prior to the date for the case management conference.

COURT REPORTERS”), each lettered or numbered subdivision starting a line, and each history line on a line of its own; no table on the rule pages (the table finder reports only the ruled box of the footer); the strike report (review/strike-report-2026-10-12.txt) finds no struck run; 8 whitespace-only fixes (build/book-fixes.json: the book's two title lines set apart; Rule 2's two-line title rejoined; Rule 4's history, printed at the end of its last line, set on its own line; the form number “FL-326” closed up across its line end; three false breaks in Rule 14(E) and 14(I)(5) rejoined; Rule 14(F)'s heading set apart from its text); the vertical-gap, short-line, page-break, fragment and row audits (custody file book_extra_audits.py; review/book-extra-audits-2026-10-12.txt and review/book-audits-after-fixes-2026-10-12.txt) list candidates read one by one (build/book_fixes.py); proof 1 (whitespace-only) and proof 2 (same character multiset as the text layer minus chrome) pass. The cover, the INDEX TO RULES (PDF pages 2 to 4) and the ALPHABETICAL SUBJECT MATTER INDEX (PDF pages 24 and 25) belong to no card. Review note: Standing Order 2026-03 (held) delegates to the clerk the authority to grant initial fee waivers and says the delegation “does not authorize the clerk of the court to deny, to set an eligibility hearing, or to partially grant a request for an initial fee waiver”; Rule 12 authorizes the Court Executive Officer to disapprove fee waivers “Should the law allow disapproving of same”. The Case Management Conference page (carded) restates Rule 10(B)'s five-day statement.
