Moore v. Nelson Management Group: Judge Ramos granted the parties’ request to extend the settlement-submission deadline from October 5 to October 26, 2022.
The parties in Ernest Moore’s case against Nelson Management Group, Ltd., and the other defendants, because the deadline for submitting their settlement materials was extended.
What happened
In Moore v. Nelson Management Group, the defendants asked for three more weeks to submit the parties’ settlement agreement and related materials for court review. The request was the first request to extend that deadline, and the plaintiff’s lawyer agreed to it.
The defendants said they were reviewing settlement paperwork and that the lawyer handling the request would be out of the office until October 17. The request sought to change the submission deadline from October 5 to October 26, 2022, without affecting other deadlines.
Judge Edgardo Ramos granted the request and extended the deadline to October 26, 2022. The order did not state that the court approved the settlement itself.

Background
The defendants requested a three-week extension of the deadline for the parties to file their settlement agreement and joint submissions for the court’s fairness review. The existing deadline was October 5, 2022; the requested new deadline was October 26, 2022. The request stated that it was the parties’ first request to extend the deadline, that the parties had conferred, and that the plaintiff’s counsel consented. It also stated that no other dates or deadlines would be affected.
The defendants explained that they were reviewing draft settlement paperwork and that the attorney making the request would be out of the office until October 17. The submission referred to the court’s earlier September 14 order setting the deadline and to the requirement for court review of the settlement agreement.
Ruling
Judge Edgardo Ramos granted the parties’ request to extend the deadline for submitting the settlement agreement and related materials from October 5, 2022, to October 26, 2022. The order addressed the timing of the submission; it did not state that the court approved the settlement itself.
