What happened
In Technology Holdings Worldwide, Inc. v. Lumari Capital, LLC, the court ordered both sides to try to settle the case after service of the amended summons and complaint. The order did not decide the parties’ underlying dispute.
Within 30 days after service, the parties must meet for at least one hour and make a good-faith effort to settle. They must discuss whether Technology Holdings Worldwide has standing, meaning a sufficient legal connection to bring the case, and whether court-connected mediation or a settlement conference could help if they cannot settle themselves.

Order
The court ordered Technology Holdings Worldwide, Inc. and Lumari Capital, LLC to meet and confer for at least one hour within 30 days after service of the amended summons and complaint. The parties must make a good-faith attempt to settle the action.
Required discussions
The parties were directed to consider whether the plaintiff satisfied the threshold requirement of standing, meaning whether it has the legal ability to bring the case. The order cited decisions from the Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit concerning standing. If the parties cannot settle on their own, they must also discuss whether additional discussions through the court’s court-annexed mediation program or a settlement conference before Judge Tarnofsky would be productive at that time.
Joint letter and next steps
Within 45 days after service of the amended summons and complaint, the parties must submit a joint letter stating whether they settled. If they did not settle, the joint letter must request one of three next steps: referral to mediation, a date for a settlement conference, or an initial case-management conference.
The order addresses settlement and case management. It does not decide standing, the merits of the dispute, or any claim.
