Case
Stephens v. Create Restaurants NY Inc. · No. 1:21-cv-05846
Judge
John Cronan
Date
Jan. 12, 2023

Background

On December 13, 2022, the court directed the parties to submit their proposed settlement for approval under the requirements described in Cheeks v. Freeport Pancake House, Inc. The deadline was January 10, 2023.

Court’s Action

The deadline passed without a settlement submission appearing on the docket. The docket also did not show a request for an extension. The court therefore extended the parties’ deadline, on its own initiative, to January 17, 2023.

Effect of the Order

The order addressed only the timing of the proposed settlement submission. It did not decide whether the settlement should be approved or resolve the underlying dispute. Judge John P. Cronan entered the order on January 11, 2023.
