Lopez v. Nelson Management Group: Judge Furman granted a three-week extension for submitting the parties’ settlement materials.
The parties to David Lopez’s case, including the defendants and plaintiff’s counsel, were affected by the extended deadline for submitting settlement materials.
What happened
In David Lopez v. Nelson Management Group, Ltd., et al., the defendants asked for three more weeks to submit the parties’ settlement agreement and related materials for the court’s fairness review. The request sought to move the deadline from October 6 to October 27, 2022.
The defendants said they were reviewing draft settlement documents and that the request was their first extension request. Plaintiff’s counsel agreed to the extension, and the request would not affect other deadlines.
Judge Jesse M. Furman granted the application and directed the Clerk of Court to terminate ECF No. 48. The order addressed only the submission deadline and did not decide the underlying claims.
