ORDER
Upon consideration of the parties’ latest status report (Doc. # 62), the parties
are ORDERED to file another joint status report on or before April 15, 2020. This
status report should, at a minimum, update the court on the status of discovery,
whether a settlement conference has been scheduled, whether the parties request an
extension of any of the suspended deadlines, and whether the parties seek a
continuance of the pretrial and trial dates. In light of the ongoing COVID-19
pandemic, it is further ORDERED that the parties may conduct their settlement
conference via telephonic communication, rather than face-to-face. The Uniform
Scheduling Order (Doc. # 47, ¶ 3) is AMENDED to reflect this change.
