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.

SARAH NETBURN, United States Magistrate Judge:
On Wednesday, May 26, 2021, the Honorable Denise Cote assigned this matter to my
docket for settlement. In light of 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. By June 11, 2021, the parties are directed to contact Courtroom Deputy Rachel
Slusher by email at [e-mail] with three (3) mutually convenient
dates, to schedule a settlement conference for a time when they believe it would be productive.
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.
SO ORDERED.
