Background
The parties stated in a joint status letter dated October 25, 2019, that they planned to submit a proposed settlement for the court's review by November 8, 2019. The court had not received either a proposed settlement or a later status update.
Order
The court ordered the parties to submit a proposed settlement by Friday, November 22, 2019. They also had to provide a brief cover letter explaining why the court should approve the settlement under the factors discussed in Wolinsky v. Scholastic Inc., 900 F. Supp. 2d 332, 335 (S.D.N.Y. 2012).
If the parties did not submit those materials, the court ordered them to appear by telephone for a status conference on Monday, November 25, 2019, at 1:30 p.m. The parties were instructed to call the court's chambers together with all relevant individuals on the line. If the date was unavailable for any party, that party had to contact Courtroom Deputy Rachel Slusher immediately.
Result
Judge Sarah Netburn entered a case-management order requiring a settlement submission or, if none was filed, a telephone status conference. The order did not approve or reject a settlement and did not decide the underlying claims.
