Kelly-Starkebaum v. Papaya Gaming, Ltd., et al., No. 24-cv-2310 (DLC)

May 8, 2024

Dear Judge Cote:
We jointly write in response to the Notice of Initial Pretrial Conference, Doc. No. 9.
Pursuant to Your Honor’s instruction, the parties have met, conferred, and discussed the
potential for settlement. To that end, the Parties have agreed to conduct a mediation with Robert
A. Meyer, a nationally recognized mediator with JAMS, on July 17, 2024. The Parties have
further agreed to an informal exchange of information pursuant to FRE 408 to facilitate the
mediation discussions and ensure any negotiations are well-informed.
Defendants’ current deadline to respond to the Complaint in this action is June 27, 2024.
(Doc No. 18.) In light of the pending mediation, the Parties have agreed to adjourn Defendants’
time to respond to the Complaint until 30 days after the mediation, August 16, 2024, and request
that Your Honor so-order the new due date. The Parties further request that the Court set another
pretrial conference for July 26, 2024, at which time the Parties will update the Court on the status
of discussions and further discuss the schedule for this case.
We look forward to appearing before Your Honor on Friday and will be prepared to
answer any questions you may have.
Respectfully submitted,
