D. Utah DUCivR 16-2
Alternative Dispute Resolution
Authority.
Under 28 U.S.C. § 651, the District of Utah offers a judicial settlement conference
as an alternative to an adjudication by the assigned judge in all civil cases and
bankruptcy adversary proceedings.
Referral of Cases for Purposes of Conducting a Settlement Conference.
Under 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1) and Fed. R. Civ. P. 16, the judge to whom the case has
been assigned for trial may refer the case for a judicial settlement conference to
be conducted by another judge.
Stay.
A party may move under DUCivR 7-1(a)(4)(D) to stay the case or discovery
after an order has been entered authorizing a judicial settlement
conference. A stipulation to stay the action or discovery is ineffective
without a court order.
