Juan Carlos Alvarado v. New Rams Deli Plus Inc.: Judge Abrams ordered a joint letter about consent to settlement approval before Judge Aaron.

Who this affects

The plaintiffs, the defendants, and the court were affected: the parties had to report whether they consented to Judge Aaron’s review of the settlement and submit a form if they consented.

What happened

In Juan Carlos Alvarado and Albert Tetlamatzl v. New Rams Deli Plus Inc., the parties told the court that they had reached a settlement.

The court had ordered the parties to say whether they agreed to have Judge Aaron review the settlement, but they had not done so by the order’s date.

Judge Abrams ordered the parties to file a joint letter by September 4, 2020, stating whether they consented to Judge Aaron’s review and, if so, to submit the required form.
