The plaintiffs and defendants in Morales Campos et al. v. Up Thai Corp. et al., and the clients whose signatures were needed for the settlement agreement.
What happened
Morales Campos v. Up Thai Corp. involved a joint request by the plaintiffs and defendants for more time to submit a settlement agreement and a letter seeking court approval.
The parties requested a 14-day extension because some clients were unavailable during the holidays to sign the agreement. Their lawyers said they agreed on the agreement’s material terms and that this was the second extension request.
The text does not clearly state the court’s disposition of the request. The letter is addressed to Magistrate Judge Debra C. Freeman and contains a “SO ORDERED” notation, but the available text does not specify whether the extension was granted or denied.
