Background

The parties informed the court that they had reached a settlement in principle, meaning they had agreed on the basic terms but had not yet submitted a final agreement for approval.

Court’s Action

The court ordered the parties to submit a proposed settlement agreement within two weeks for court approval under Cheeks v. Freeport Pancake House, Inc., 796 F.3d 199 (2d Cir. 2015). The order does not state that the court approved the settlement.

The court also adjourned the Initial Pretrial Conference scheduled for December 11, 2020, at 10:00 a.m. and the deadline for submitting a joint letter updating the court on the case’s status. Both were adjourned sine die, meaning no new date was set.

Disposition

Judge John P. Cronan ordered submission of the proposed settlement agreement and postponed the two scheduled case events. The order did not otherwise state a final disposition of the case.
