In Mendez v. Angel’s Grill, Judge Cronan ordered settlement paperwork after the parties reported an agreement in principle on all issues.
The plaintiff, Jose Mendez, and the defendants, including Angel’s Grill & Cafe Inc. d/b/a Angel’s Cafe, are affected by the deadline to submit settlement materials.
What happened
In Mendez v. Angel’s Grill & Cafe Inc., the parties took part in the court’s mediation program and told the court they had reached an agreement in principle on all issues.
The order does not describe the settlement’s terms or say that the court approved it. It says the parties must provide paperwork if their settlement requires court approval, along with any other necessary information.
Judge John P. Cronan ordered the parties to submit that material by June 16, 2025. The order therefore records the reported agreement and sets a deadline for settlement-related submissions.
