ORDER

On February 16, 2021, the parties filed their joint status report indicating the status of
settlement proceedings in this matter. See ECF No. 411. Therein, the parties report that
they “have agreed on all the terms and the wording of a settlement agreement with respect to
former employees of the Panama Canal Commission. However, additional time is required
to permit Government counsel to obtain necessary consideration by authorized officials.”
Id. at 1. In that regard, the parties request that the court grant an additional ten days, until
February 26, 2021, “to permit Government counsel to obtain the necessary supervisory
consideration, and if supervisory approval is obtained, within which to submit the settlement
for the [c]ourt’s approval.” Id. at 1.
Absent the filing of the parties’ motion to approve their settlement agreement, on or
before February 26, 2021, the parties are directed to FILE a joint status report indicating
the status of settlement proceedings. If settlement proceedings have reached an impasse, the
parties’ status report shall propose a plan for proceeding on the remaining claims in this
case.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
