Rush v. Mooney

Filing 10

ORDER RE: INFORMAL SETTLEMENT DISCUSSIONS. This case will not be referred for formal mediation. However, the court encourages the parties to engage in informal discussions in an effort to settle this case. A courtesy copy of this order and the com plaint shall be provided to defendants' counsel. (Electronically sent 11/9/2011, see NEF for service details.) If parties are able to settle, during the 90 day stay, the $350.00 filing fee need not be paid. However, if parties are unable to settle the Court will reconsider the motion to proceed IFP, and plaintiff will have to pay the filing fee in full. Signed by Magistrate Judge Valerie P. Cooke on 11/8/2011. (Copies have been distributed pursuant to the NEF - KO)
