Gannon v. 209-219 W. 38 LLC: Judge Parker granted the parties’ request to pause scheduling while they completed settlement paperwork.
The parties and their counsel were affected because the initial conference and upcoming case deadlines were paused while they worked toward documenting their settlement.
What happened
In Gannon v. 209-219 W. 38 LLC, the defendants reported that the parties had reached a settlement in principle and were preparing a written agreement. The case had an initial conference scheduled for August 23, 2022.
The defendants, with the plaintiff’s counsel’s consent, asked the court to postpone the initial conference and pause all deadlines while the parties completed the settlement documents. They expected to file an agreement dismissing the case in about 30 days.
The court granted the application. Judge Katharine H. Parker therefore approved the requested scheduling pause; the opinion does not decide the underlying claims.
