Judge
John Cronan
Date
Mar. 27, 2024

Background

On February 29, 2024, the Court ordered the parties to file a status letter by March 21, 2024. The letter was supposed to tell the Court whether payment to the plaintiffs’ counsel had been disbursed. The March 21 deadline passed, and the docket did not show that the parties had filed the letter.

Ruling

The Court extended the deadline for filing the status letter to April 3, 2024. The Court reminded the parties that they must comply with court orders and stated that failure to do so may result in sanctions, meaning penalties imposed for noncompliance. This order did not decide the underlying claims or determine whether the payment had been disbursed.
