Patterson v. City of Charlotte

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE WESTERN DISTRICT OF NORTH CAROLINA
CHARLOTTE DIVISION
CIVIL ACTION NO. 3:18-CV-00612-RJC-DSC
THIS MATTER comes before the Court on its own motion. At the request of the
Honorable Robert J. Conrad, the presiding judge in this matter, the undersigned will conduct
judicial settlement conferences on May 4–5, 2022, beginning at 10:00 am. Beginning at 10:00 am
each day, the involved parties should report directly to their respective locations. The Defendant
shall work from the 8th floor jury room; Plaintiffs will report to Courtroom 8.
The Court has concluded that a global settlement conference is unlikely to prove fruitful.
Instead, the Court will hold individual conferences according to the following schedule:
May 4, 2022
10:00 am – 12:00 pm Marty Puckett
12:00 pm – 1:00 pm Lunch
1:00 pm – 3:00 pm Willie Summers
3:00 pm – 5:00 pm Sylivia Smith-Phifer

May 5, 2022
10:00 am – 12:00 pm Lance Patterson
12:00 pm – 1:00 pm Lunch
1:00 pm – 3:00 pm Aaron Phifer
The parties are reminded that an individual with full settlement authority (other than
counsel) shall be in attendance. The Court also notes that a criminal jury trial is currently scheduled
for May 2 and May 3. The Court anticipates that the trial will end on May 3. In the event that the
trial lasts longer than anticipated, the Court may have to delay these conferences by one day, or
adjust the start times.
SO ORDERED.
