Honeywell International Inc. v. Ecoer Inc. et al
Filing 86
ORDER: The Court is in receipt of a motion to reopen this case by YES PLLC, counsel of record for defendants Ecoer Inc. and InverterCool Inc. (collectively, "Ecoer"), to supply a vehicle for YES PLLC to assert a lien against any recovery by Ecoer in this action pursuant to a confidential settlement agreement between the parties. Dkt. 85 (motion to reopen); see Dkt. 84 (30-day order). The Court directs Ecoer, which continues to be represented by YES PLLC's co-counsel Kirsch & Niehaus PLLC, and plaintiff Honeywell International Inc. ("Honeywell") to file separate letter responses to YES PLLC's motion by Tuesday, March 18, 2025. The parties are directed to address, inter alia, (1) whether the existence of a charging lien warrants reopening this case, in which the parties have elected against the Court's retaining jurisdiction for the purposes of enforcing the terms of any settlement agreement, see Dkt. 84 at 1; and (2) whether an alternative vehicle exists for any claims that YES PLLC may have against Ecoer, e.g., a separate proceeding in state court. Insofar as YES PLLC's submissions do not reflect any effort to meet and confer prior to its filing the instant motion, see Dkt. 85 at 2-3, the Court separately directs YES PLLC to do so forthwith, as the controversy raised by YES PLLC appears eminently resolvable by counsel. SO ORDERED. ( Responses due by 3/18/2025) (Signed by Judge Paul A. Engelmayer on 3/12/2025) (tg)
