- 1
In Strauss v. Little Fish Corp., Judge Liman denied the settlement application as moot and ordered a revised agreement or case scheduling.
The parties—Kyle Strauss, Little Fish Corp., and Alicart, Inc.—were affected. The submitted settlement was not approved, and the parties were required to file any revised agreement and prepare for a later conference.
What happened
Strauss v. Little Fish Corp. concerns the parties’ application for court approval of a settlement agreement.
At a conference, the parties told the court that changes were needed to the agreement. The court therefore did not approve the submitted agreement and denied the settlement application as moot.
Judge Lewis J. Liman ordered any revised agreement filed by June 29, 2020, and scheduled a July 10 conference to consider approval of a new agreement or set a schedule for discovery and trial.
The detailed version

Background
The court held a conference concerning the parties’ application to approve a settlement agreement. During the conference, the parties advised the court that the agreement needed changes.
Ruling and Next Steps
The court denied the settlement application as moot. It ordered that any revised settlement agreement be filed by June 29, 2020.
The court also scheduled a conference for July 10, 2020. If the parties reached a new settlement agreement, the conference would address whether the court could approve it under the standards identified in Cheeks v. Freeport Pancake House, Inc. If they did not reach a new agreement, the conference would be used to set a schedule for discovery and trial. In that event, the parties were ordered to file a proposed case-management plan and scheduling order by July 3, 2020.
