The detailed version
- Sanchez v. Baqar Shah · No. 1:21-cv-02335
- John Cronan
- June 15, 2022
Background
The parties participated in the Court-annexed Mediation Program on April 11, 2022. The mediator reported that the parties had reached an agreement on all issues.
On April 28, 2022, the Court directed the parties to submit any settlement requiring Court approval under Cheeks v. Freeport Pancake House and any other necessary information by May 31, 2022. On June 1, the parties requested an extension until June 14, and the Court granted that request.
Court’s Action
The June 14 deadline passed without the parties submitting a settlement for Court approval. The Court therefore ordered the parties, by June 17, 2022, to either submit their settlement for approval under Cheeks and the Court’s earlier orders or seek another extension. The Court also ordered the parties to explain why they had repeatedly failed to comply with its orders.
Disposition
The order addressed compliance with the Court’s settlement-submission deadlines and did not decide the underlying merits of the case.
