What happened
In Kevin Yan Luis, et al. v. Glanbia Performance Nutrition (NA), Inc., the court ordered the parties to meet for at least one hour within 30 days after the summons and complaint were served. They must make a good-faith effort to settle and discuss whether the plaintiff meets the constitutional requirement of standing.
If the parties cannot settle, they must also discuss whether mediation through the court’s program or a settlement conference before a magistrate judge would be useful. Within 45 days after service, they must submit a joint letter reporting whether they settled and, if not, asking either for settlement assistance or an initial status conference.
Judge Jennifer L. Rochon issued this case-management order on August 23, 2023. The order did not decide the standing issue or the merits of the case.

Order
The court ordered the parties to meet and confer for at least one hour within 30 days after service of the summons and complaint. The discussions must include a good-faith attempt to settle the action and consideration of whether the plaintiff has satisfied the threshold requirement of standing, meaning the requirement that a plaintiff be legally entitled to bring the case.
If the parties cannot settle without further assistance, they must discuss whether additional settlement discussions through the court-annexed mediation program or before a magistrate judge would be productive at that time. Within 15 additional days—45 days after service of the summons and complaint—the parties must file a joint letter stating whether they settled. If they did not settle, the letter must request either referral to mediation or a magistrate judge for a settlement conference, with a preference identified, or an initial status conference.
