Background
A December 18, 2023 order scheduled a post-discovery conference for May 1, 2024. On March 15, 2024, the court stated that it had been informed that the parties reached a settlement in principle following mediation. The court directed the parties to submit materials for approval under Cheeks v. Freeport Pancake House, Inc. A later order extended the deadline for those materials to May 3, 2024.
Order
To avoid ambiguity, the court ordered that the May 1, 2024 conference and all other conferences and deadlines in the case, except the deadline to submit the settlement materials, were adjourned indefinitely. The parties were ordered to file the settlement materials as required by the prior orders.
Effect
This was a scheduling and settlement-approval order. It did not decide the underlying claims, rule on the merits, or state that the settlement had been approved.
