Clarke
Date
Jan. 2, 2024

Background

The plaintiffs’ counsel asked the court to change two scheduling matters. First, counsel requested an extension of the parties’ deadline to submit a settlement agreement for court review from January 5, 2024, through January 12, 2024. Second, counsel requested that the virtual status conference set for January 4, 2024, be moved to a date and time after January 10, 2024. The request stated that it was made with the defendants’ counsel’s consent and that counsel was scheduling conferences with the plaintiffs.

Court’s Ruling

Judge Jessica G. L. Clarke granted the application. The court rescheduled the virtual status conference from January 4, 2024, at 2:00 p.m. to January 11, 2024, at 2:00 p.m. The court separately stated that the settlement agreement remained due January 15, 2024. The order therefore set a settlement deadline different from the January 12 date requested in the letter.

What the Order Means

This was a scheduling order. It did not decide the parties’ underlying claims or state that the settlement agreement had been approved.
