ROBYN F. TARNOFSKY, United States Magistrate Judge:
This matter is referred to the undersigned for general pretrial supervision (ECF 18), and this

extended nunc pro tunc until April 4, 2025.
The parties shall submit a joint update on the status but not the substance of their settlement
discussions by April 11, 2025, including whether it would be productive for the parties either to
participate in Court-annexed mediation or a settlement conference at that time. The settlement
conference scheduled for March 28, 2025 is cancelled.
A telephonic Initial Case Management Conference in accordance with Rule 16(b) of the Federal
Rules of Civil Procedure is scheduled for April 18, 2025, at 11:00 AM. Counsel for the parties are
directed to call my conference line at the scheduled time by dialing [phone], Access Code: 861
535 311 #.
The parties are directed to consult my Individual Rules of Practice, available at
https://nysd.uscourts.gov/hon-robyn-f-tarnofsky.
Rule 26(f) Conference. Counsel for the parties are directed to confer at least 21 days before the
Initial Case Management Conference to discuss the matters set forth in Rule 26(f) of the Federal Rules of

Civil Procedure. The parties shall comply with their Rule 26(a) initial disclosure obligations no later than
14 days after the parties’ Rule 26(f) conference. The parties will be required to discuss at the Rule 26(f)
conference the subjects set forth in Rules 16(b) and 16(c) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. A list of
the Rule 26(f) discussion topics is available at https://nysd.uscourts.gov/hon-robyn-f-tarnofsky.

dates or other terms of the proposed scheduling order, they shall file on the docket a joint letter briefly
explaining the dispute(s) and competing proposal(s) by April 11, 2025.
If the parties agree on a schedule that calls for the close of all discovery within six months and
have no issues to raise with the Court, the parties may, if they wish, request in their Proposed Civil Case
Management Plan and Scheduling Order that the initial case management conference be canceled. I will
ordinarily grant such requests.
