The Court informs the parties that third-party subpoena respondent SynSel emailed the Court's staff seeking an extension of time to retain counsel.

Accordingly, the Court will not consider the relief requested in the correspondence. If Defendants Cohn & Cohn and Charles Cohn file a motion to compel based on the outstanding subpoena to SynSel, they shall contact the courtroom deputy for a hearing date. By 9/8/2021, the parties shall file a joint status report setting forth: (1) the date and time when Erwin Cohn's deposition is set to begin, (2) a proposed expert discovery schedule, (3) Charles Cohn and Cohn & Cohn's plan for resolving the outstanding subpoena directed to SynSel, (4) whether the parties believe a settlement conference with the magistrate judge would be productive, and (5) anything else the parties would like to discuss with the Court at the next status hearing.

PRELIMINARY INJUNCTION ORDER Signed by the Honorable Andrea R. Wood on 11/25/2020. Mailed notice (dal, )

Filing 95
MINUTE entry before the Honorable Andrea R. Wood: Having previously issued oral rulings granting Plaintiff's motions for a temporary restraining order #4 and for a preliminary injunction #15 , with the limitations stated on the record, and denying Plaintiff's motion for entry of default judgment #55 , those motions are terminated. Based on the Court's review of the docket, it appears that a written order memorializing the preliminary injunction was inadvertently not docketed. The Clerk is directed to enter the Preliminary Injunction Order. The Court further notes that the preliminary injunction ruling extended the requirements of the temporary restraining order previously docketed; and so the Court expects that all parties were aware of and have been abiding by its requirements. The parties shall meet and confer and, by 12/9/2020, submit an updated joint status report setting forth: (1) the current status of discovery, including whether the parties are aware of any discovery disputes that will require the Court's involvement, and (2) the parties' views with respect to settlement. Due to delays associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, the Court has not previously set a firm discovery deadline. It will do so at the next status hearing. Telephonic status hearing set for 12/17/2020 at 11:00 AM. To ensure public access to court proceedings, members of the public and media may call in to listen to telephonic hearings. The call-in number is (888) 557-8511 and the access code is 3547847. Counsel of record will receive an email 30 minutes prior to the start of the telephonic hearing with instructions to join the call.
