A court will hold a two-day settlement conference in the Paramount-Warner Bros. antitrust case in late October.

The conference is a standard part of civil procedure and does not indicate whether a deal is in the offing. A magistrate judge, Thomas Hixson, has been tasked with overseeing the settlement discussions and to determine whether it will be possible to avoid a trial, which is scheduled for next March in Oakland.
