Case
Galindo v. Dyckman Electronics Center Inc. · No. 1:18-cv-08678
Judge
Robert Lehrburger
Date
Jan. 22, 2020

Background

The court held a settlement conference on June 11, 2019. During that conference, the parties reached a settlement intended to fully and finally resolve the case. When the agreement was placed on the record, the plaintiff agreed to file an application for court approval of the settlement by July 11, 2019.

Court’s Action

The court stated that no settlement-approval application had been filed. It therefore ordered the plaintiff to submit an application for approval under the procedure discussed in Cheeks v. Freeport Pancake, Inc., 796 F.3d 199 (2d Cir. 2015), by February 5, 2020.

Effect

The order sets a deadline for the plaintiff to seek approval of the settlement. The opinion does not state that the court approved or rejected the settlement, and it does not enter a separate disposition of the underlying case.
