Re: DoubleLine Capital, LP v. CNO S.A., No. 17-cv-4576-GHW-BCM
Dear Judge Moses:
We represent CNO S.A., Odebrecht Engenharia E Construção S.A. and Odebrecht S.A. Em Recuperação Judicial (collectively, the “Defendants” and together with the plaintiffs in the
above-captioned action (the “Plaintiffs”), the “Parties”) in the above-captioned action. Pursuant
to paragraph 2.A of this Court’s Individual Rules of Practice (“Individual Practices”), we write to
respectfully request that the Court adjourn the settlement conference scheduled for January 19,
2021 until after the close of fact discovery, set for May 1, 2021. See ECF No. 88.
As Your Honor knows, discovery remains in the early stages. Given the preliminary
nature of the factual record, and the Parties’ ongoing efforts to develop the record, we believe the
Court’s involvement in settlement discussions would be more effective at a later date. 1
We have conferred with Plaintiffs, who consent to this request, and have sought guidance
from Your Honor’s Chambers that the Court may be available during the week of May 17, 2021.
This is the second request for an adjournment of the settlement conference. This request would
not affect any other deadlines set by the Court.
Respectfully Submitted,
Thomas S. Kessler
Cc: All counsel of record (via ECF)
The Parties have engaged in preliminary settlement discussions and expect to continue those discussions when and
as appropriate in the future.
