Fed. R. App. P. 33
Appeal Conferences
The court may direct the attorneys—and, when appropriate, the
parties—to participate in one or more conferences to address any
matter that may aid in disposing of the proceedings, including
simplifying the issues and discussing settlement. A judge or other
person designated by the court may preside over the conference,
which may be conducted in person or by telephone. Before a settlement conference, the attorneys must consult with their clients
and obtain as much authority as feasible to settle the case. The
court may, as a result of the conference, enter an order controlling the course of the proceedings or implementing any settlement agreement.
