September 14, 2022	Filing 222 PAPERLESS ORDER DENYING 213 Plaintiffs' Motion for Settlement and GRANTING IN PART AND DENYING IN PART Defendants' Motion to Disqualify Class Counsel #217 , but only as to an award of monetary sanctions. The Court has reviewed the Motion 213 , Defendants' Response #216 , and the full record. Following that review, and against the backdrop of the procedural history of this case 188 #189 #198 #207 #209 210 , it is clear that the parties have been unable to reach a mutually agreeable and understood resolution in this matter. Plaintiffs seek enforcement of an agreement that, according to Defendants, differs materially from the terms submitted by Defendants and allegedly accepted by Plaintiffs. Defendants, for their part, seek specific performance of an agreement described by Defendants as the "settlement actually reached by the Parties." Either the parties can comply with the requirement to file a preliminary motion for approval on all essential terms of a class action settlement #209 , or they cannot. The latter is the case here, despite numerous last-minute continuances and other accommodations by the Court. For these reasons, the Court will not be enforcing any purported "settlement" between the parties and will reset this matter, once and for all, for trial, with no continuances to be granted. As to Defendants' other requests, the Court hereby directs the Clerk to strike entirely from the docket, including from Court review, the following docket entries: 210, 212, and 213. The Court also finds it appropriate to admonish Plaintiffs' counsel for his blatant and unauthorized filing of confidential settlement negotiations, as described in Defendants' Motion for Disqualification #217 , and to order Plaintiffs to pay Defendants' attorneys' fees and costs associated with Defendants' filing of #217 . Order resetting trial to follow. Defendants shall file their attorneys' fee request as to #217 on or before September 21, 2022. Signed by Judge Aileen M. Cannon on 9/14/2022. (sj00)

(DE# 210, 212, and 213 stricken from the docket including from court view). (jas)

September 14, 2022

Filing 222 PAPERLESS ORDER DENYING 213 Plaintiffs' Motion for Settlement and GRANTING IN PART AND DENYING IN PART Defendants' Motion to Disqualify Class Counsel #217 , but only as to an award of monetary sanctions. The Court has reviewed the Motion 213 , Defendants' Response #216 , and the full record. Following that review, and against the backdrop of the procedural history of this case 188 #189 #198 #207 #209 210 , it is clear that the parties have been unable to reach a mutually agreeable and understood resolution in this matter. Plaintiffs seek enforcement of an agreement that, according to Defendants, differs materially from the terms submitted by Defendants and allegedly accepted by Plaintiffs. Defendants, for their part, seek specific performance of an agreement described by Defendants as the "settlement actually reached by the Parties." Either the parties can comply with the requirement to file a preliminary motion for approval on all essential terms of a class action settlement #209 , or they cannot. The latter is the case here, despite numerous last-minute continuances and other accommodations by the Court. For these reasons, the Court will not be enforcing any purported "settlement" between the parties and will reset this matter, once and for all, for trial, with no continuances to be granted. As to Defendants' other requests, the Court hereby directs the Clerk to strike entirely from the docket, including from Court review, the following docket entries: 210, 212, and 213. The Court also finds it appropriate to admonish Plaintiffs' counsel for his blatant and unauthorized filing of confidential settlement negotiations, as described in Defendants' Motion for Disqualification #217 , and to order Plaintiffs to pay Defendants' attorneys' fees and costs associated with Defendants' filing of #217 . Order resetting trial to follow. Defendants shall file their attorneys' fee request as to #217 on or before September 21, 2022. Signed by Judge Aileen M. Cannon on 9/14/2022. (sj00)
