Background
The opinion concerns the court’s standing order for counseled employment-discrimination cases. That order requires the parties and their lawyers to participate in a mediation session through the Southern District of New York Mediation Program within 60 days after an answer is filed, or as soon afterward as the session can be scheduled.
The defendants filed their answer on July 12, 2024. The court therefore stated that mediation was required by September 10, 2024, or at the earliest opportunity thereafter. The docket did not show that the parties had participated in mediation.
Order
The court ordered the parties to file a joint letter by January 21, 2025. The letter must describe their efforts to resolve the case, including their participation in the required mediation session. Judge Jennifer H. Rearden entered the order.
