What happened
In Santos Guzman Garcia, et al. v. Moncon, Inc., et al., the parties jointly told the court that they had reached a settlement-in-principle resolving the remaining claims. They asked to postpone the upcoming pretrial and trial-related dates so they could prepare settlement documents.
The parties’ claims included claims under the Fair Labor Standards Act, a federal wage-and-hour law. They said they would submit the settlement agreement and a request for court approval, as required for these claims, and asked for an August 1, 2022 submission deadline.
Judge John P. Cronan granted the request. He ordered the parties to submit any settlement requiring court approval and other necessary information by August 1, 2022, and adjourned all deadlines and conferences in the case indefinitely.
The detailed version
- Garcia v. Moncon, Inc. · No. 1:20-cv-05024
- John Cronan
- June 29, 2022
Background
The parties jointly moved to adjourn, meaning postpone, the July 1, 2022 pretrial-submission deadline and the October 22, 2022 jury-trial start date. They represented that they had reached a settlement-in-principle resolving all remaining claims and needed time to draft the settlement documents.
The letter stated that the action included claims under the Fair Labor Standards Act. Because those claims required court review of the proposed settlement, the parties said they would prepare a settlement agreement and a motion asking the court to approve it. They requested August 1, 2022 as the deadline for filing the settlement materials.
Ruling
Judge John P. Cronan granted the parties’ request. The court ordered the parties to submit any settlement requiring court approval under the cited Second Circuit precedent, along with any other necessary information, by August 1, 2022. The court also adjourned all deadlines and conferences in the action indefinitely. The order did not state that the settlement itself had been approved or that the case had been closed.
