In Gonzalez Sanchez v. Y and P Enterprises, Judge Torres ordered an update on settlement talks after a partial proposed judgment.
The plaintiffs, Y and P Enterprises Inc. doing business as Corner Cafe & Bakery, and the remaining defendants. The proposed judgment resolved only the claims against Y and P Enterprises Inc.; the parties still had to report on negotiations involving the remaining defendants.
What happened
In Gonzalez Sanchez v. Y and P Enterprises Inc., the parties told the court they had reached a settlement. The court had required documents so it could review the settlement as required by a federal appeals court decision.
Instead, the parties filed a proposed judgment under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 68. That judgment resolved only the claims against Y and P Enterprises Inc., doing business as Corner Cafe & Bakery, and not the claims against the remaining defendants.
Judge Analisa Torres ordered the parties to file a joint letter by April 1, 2022, reporting the status of settlement negotiations between the plaintiffs and the remaining defendants. The opinion did not approve the settlement or describe its terms.

Background
The plaintiffs are Martin Gonzalez Sanchez, Lediz Marin, Hector Gonzalez Sanchez, Leoncio Noe, and Damaso Cesar Gonzalez Romano, also identified as Cesar Gonzalez. They sued Y and P Enterprises Inc., doing business as Corner Cafe & Bakery, Paul DiMino, Yura Mohr, Lucas Santos, and Susie Rhim. The opinion states that the plaintiffs brought the case individually and on behalf of others similarly situated, but it does not describe the underlying claims.
On May 12, 2021, the court was told that the parties had reached a settlement. The court directed them to file documents needed for court review of the settlement under the requirements described in Cheeks v. Freeport Pancake House, Inc.
Court’s Action
Rather than filing the requested settlement-review documents, the parties filed a proposed judgment under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 68. The proposed judgment resolved only the claims against Y and P Enterprises Inc., doing business as Corner Cafe & Bakery. It did not resolve the claims against the other defendants.
Disposition and Effect
Judge Analisa Torres ordered the parties to file a joint letter by April 1, 2022, informing the court about the status of settlement negotiations between the plaintiffs and the remaining defendants. The opinion does not state that the court approved the settlement, and it does not provide the settlement’s terms.
