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.
