HIGBEE v. SENTRY INS. CO.

Nos. 00-1101, 00-1505.

253 F.3d 994 (2001)

Rosemary HIGBEE, Plaintiff-Appellant, v. SENTRY INSURANCE COMPANY, Defendant-Appellee.

United States Court of Appeals, Seventh Circuit.

Decided June 14, 2001.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

John P. Madden (argued), Chicago, IL, for Plaintiff-Appellant.

Janet M. Hendrick (argued), Vedder, Price, Kaufman & Kammholz, Chicago, IL, for Defendant-Appellee.

Before FLAUM, Chief Judge, and POSNER and EVANS, Circuit Judges.

TERENCE T. EVANS, Circuit Judge.

The district courts in this circuit have crowded dockets, and the judges presiding over those courts work very hard to keep their heads above water. To that end, district judges are wise to encourage settlements and to poke and prod reluctant parties to compromise, especially when their differences are not great and/or their claims or defenses are not airtight. See Pierce v. Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Ry.,
