- Apr. 5, 2024
Background
On February 14, 2024, the court ordered the parties to submit two items before the initial pretrial conference scheduled for April 10, 2024: (1) a joint letter describing the case and providing a status update on settlement discussions, and (2) a proposed case-management plan and scheduling order. Both submissions were due April 3, 2024.
The parties did not submit either item by the deadline.
Order
The court ordered the parties to file the joint letter and proposed case-management plan and scheduling order on the court’s electronic filing system by 5:00 p.m. on April 8, 2024.
The court warned that failure to comply with its orders could result in sanctions, including dismissal for failure to prosecute. It cited another Southern District of New York case in which the court imposed a monetary sanction, referred counsel to the district’s Grievance Committee, and described repeated failures to comply with court orders and deadlines. This order itself did not impose sanctions or dismiss the case.
Disposition
Judge John P. Cronan issued an order requiring the overdue filings and warning of possible future sanctions. The opinion does not state whether the parties later filed the required documents.
