On December 2, 2010, the Court held a status conference in this case to address the progress of discovery and the upcoming pre-trial deadlines. Counsel indicated that they have resolved their outstanding discovery disputes and they that are engaging in settlement discussions and believe that a further settlement conference would be beneficial. Accordingly, the Court REFERS this matter to Magistrate Judge Joseph Spero for a settlement conference in early January. Further, at the status conference, the parties suggested that they might request a new trial date to allow them to meaningfully engage in settlement negotiations. After consulting with the courtroom deputy, the parties shall submit a stipulation with amended pre-trial deadlines and trial date. The parties shall file their stipulation and proposed order no later than January3, 2010. IT IS SO ORDERED.
