| Filing 16 MINUTE entry before the Honorable Edmond E. Chang: Status hearing held. Counsel reported on the status of settlement negotiations: Plaintiff and Advocate are still in discussions amongst themselves, and will probably ask the magistrate judge for a couple more weeks to decide whether to ask for a formal conference. For the past couple of weeks, Advocate's counsel has been discussing representation of the individual Defendants with Aramark's counsel (Owens is a current employee, and Johnson was employed with Aramark during the relevant time). Plaintiff might voluntarily dismiss the individual Defendants. To absolutely guarantee that the individual Defendants are not an obstacle to a definitive resolution of the case, the Court directs the Clerk of Court to issue summons for service on Defendants William Johnson and Robert Owens. Plaintiff shall promptly mail waivers of summons to the two individual Defendants, either to Aramark's counsel (if counsel represents that counsel can waiver service on their behalf) or directly to the individuals. If Aramark's counsel cannot accept service for the individual Defendants, then Aramark shall provide a last known address for the individuals. Response to the waivers due no later than 04/18/2019. The Court urges Defendants to consider waiving service, because a refusal to waive service triggers a requirement that Defendants pay the costs of service. Fed. R. Civ. P. 4(d)(2). In light of the settlement negotiations, Defendant Advocate Health and Hospitals Corporation's answer is suspended for now. Status hearing set for 04/24/2019 at 9:30 a.m.Emailed notice (slb, ) |
| Filing 15 ATTORNEY Appearance for Plaintiff Ahd Hamayel by Thomas John Nitschke (Nitschke, Thomas) |
| Filing 14 Rule 26(f) Report for Mandatory Initial Discovery Pilot (MIDP) , filed by Plaintiff Ahd Hamayel. (Blaise, Heather) |
| Filing 13 MINUTE entry before the Honorable Sunil R. Harjani: Preliminary settlement discussion conference held by phone. Parties reported that they are engaging in settlement discussions on their own and wish to continue that process. Telephone settlement discussion set for March 20, 2019 at 11:00am for the parties to report on their discussions. The Court anticipates setting an in-person conference at that time if the parties have not reached an agreement by then. Mailed notice (lxs, ) |
| Filing 12 MINUTE entry before the Honorable Sunil R. Harjani: A preliminary settlement discussion with the attorneys of record is scheduled for 3/6/2019 at 10:30 a.m. by telephone. The Courtroom Deputy will email the conference call number and passcode to the attorneys. Mailed notice (lxs, ) |
| Filing 11 Pursuant to Local Rule 72.1, this case is hereby referred to the calendar of Honorable Sunil R. Harjani for the purpose of holding a settlement conference.(slb, )Emailed notice. |
| Filing 10 MINUTE entry before the Honorable Edmond E. Chang: Plaintiff's attorney, Lana Nassar, called the courtroom deputy to report that the parties are jointly requesting a settlement referral to the magistrate judge. The referral will be processed with the Executive Committee. But for now the status hearing of 03/19/2019 remains in place, as does the status report requirement, because the Court wants to ensure that the individual Defendants are served and to determine whether Advocate's defense counsel also will represent the individuals. It is important that there be no obstacle to a complete resolution at the settlement conference. If the status report covers that issue satisfactorily, and assuming the parties agree to stay the answer deadline, then the Court likely would continue the 03/19/2019 status hearing until after the settlement conference.Emailed notice (slb, ) |

| Filing 6 MINUTE entry before the Honorable Edmond E. Chang:Initial status hearing set for 03/19/2019 at 8:45 a.m. The parties must file a joint initial status report with the content described in the attached status report requirements at least 3 business days before the initial status hearing. Plaintiff must still file the report even if not all Defendants have been served or have responded to requests to craft a joint report. Because the Procedures are occasionally revised, counsel must read them anew even if counsel has appeared before Judge Chang in other cases. Emailed notice (Attachments: #1 Status Report Requirements) (slb, ) |
| Filing 5 NOTICE TO THE PARTIES - The Court is participating in the Mandatory Initial Discovery Pilot (MIDP). The key features and deadlines are set forth in this Notice which includes a link to the (MIDP) Standing Order and a Checklist for use by the parties.
