Local Mandatory Arbitration Rule 4.4
                             NOTICE OF SETTLEMENT


   (a) Notice of Settlement.  After any settlement that fully resolves all
claims against all parties, the plaintiff shall, within 5 days or before the
arbitration hearing, whichever is sooner, file and serve a written notice of
settlement on the form prescribed by the Court.  The notice shall be filed with
both the arbitrator and the Court.  Where notice cannot be filed with the
arbitrator before the arbitration hearing, the plaintiff shall notify the
arbitrator of the settlement by telephone prior to the hearing, and the written
notice shall be filed and served within five days after the settlement.

   (b) Dismissal by the Court.  If an order dismissing all claims against all
parties is not entered within 60 days after written notice of settlement is
filed, or within 60 days after the scheduled arbitration hearing date,
whichever is earlier, the court administrator  will mail notice to the
attorneys of record that the case will be dismissed by the Court for want of
prosecution unless, within 10 court days after the mailing, a party makes a
written application to the Court, showing good cause why the case should not be
dismissed.  If good cause is shown, the case may be reinstated to the
original arbitrator for an additional 90 days or for such period of time as the
Court may designate.  If an order dismissing all claims against all parties is
not entered during that additional period of time, the court administrator
shall issue another notice as described above.
