Rule 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.
