The parties request that the expert discovery cutoff be “continued” to the same date it is currently set for, April 21, 2020.
(See Doc. 24 at 3.) This appears to be a typographical error and thus the Court will continue the expert discovery cutoff 90
days along with the rest of the dates.
3
The telephonic conference to discuss re-setting the settlement conference is currently set for May 13, 2020. (See Doc. 23
at 2.) In the stipulation, the parties request that all pretrial dates be continued by 90 days, and that the telephonic conference
be “continued” to April 18, 2020. (See Doc. 24 at 3.) This appears to be a typographical error, as April 18, 2020 is a
Saturday and is a few weeks earlier than the current date, as opposed to 90 days later. Thus, the Court will continue the
telephonic by approximately 90 days, to August 18, 2020. However, if the parties believe that an earlier settlement
conference would be fruitful, they may request a settlement conference date at any time.
4
The parties are to use dial-in number: 1-888-557-8511; passcode: 6208204#. Prior to the telephonic conference,
counsel are to thoroughly discuss the advantages of and possibilities for settlement with their respective clients, and each
other, and be prepared to propose a date on which a Settlement Conference will be set. By no later than August 11, 2020,
the parties shall file a joint statement confirming that they have met and conferred and setting forth their proposed
Settlement Conference date(s).
