own case. The parties and their attorneys must approach the settlement conference with the goal
of attempting to reach a compromise resolution.
A candid non-adversarial confidential settlement statement shall be e-mailed at least 7 days prior
to the settlement conference to Judge Schapanski at:
stephen.schapanski@judicial.state.co.us
Statements shall not be exchanged between the parties and copies shall not be sent to the court.
Statements shall be limited but should include a brief non-argumentative analysis of the facts, the
claims and defenses, an evaluation of damages, a summary of settlement negotiations to date and
a frank disclosure of settlement authority. Such disclosure may be in monetary terms or other
relief that is sought.
In addition, the settlement statements may include copies of contracts or documents at issue,
exhibits or brief portions of depositions. It is not necessary to include any documents that have
already been filed in the case.

must appear in person or be available by phone.
Dated this 2nd day of March, 2022.
