MINUTE entry before Honorable Morton Denlow:This case has been referred to Judge Denlow to conduct a settlement conference. The parties are directed to review and to comply with Judge Denlow's Standing Order Setting Settlement Conference. Copies are available in chambers or through Judge Denlow's web page at www.ilnd.uscourts.gov. Judge Denlow requires full compliance with this standing order before conducting a settlement conference. Failure to comply with the provisions of the Court's Standing Order Setting Settlement Conference may result in the unilateral cancellation of the settlement conference by the Court. The parties shall jointly contact the courtroom deputy, Linda Garth at 312/435-5857, with mutually agreeable dates or appear at 10:00 a.m. on 6/14/2012 to set a settlement conference date.
