Abdelal v. Kelly

Filing 197

ORDER: In light of the parties' June 8, 2021 status letter, the parties are directed to contact Courtroom Deputy Rachel Slusher by email at [e-mail] with three (3) mutually convenient dates, to schedule a settl ement conference for a time when they believe it would be productive. Due to the Court's busy calendar, settlement conferences must generally be scheduled at least six to eight weeks in advance. The Court will likely be unable to accommodate last-minute requests for settlement conferences, and the parties should not anticipate that litigation deadlines will be adjourned in response to late requests for settlement conferences. The parties should assume that the settlement conference will be conducted by telephone using a platform that will allow the Court to hold confidential conversations with counsel and the party representative(s) for each side.
