April 30, 2020 Filing 14 NOTICE by All Plaintiffs re MOTION by Plaintiffs Chicago Regional Council of Carpenters Apprentice & Trainee Program Fund, Chicago Regional Council of Carpenters Supplemental Retirement Fund, Chicago Regional Council of Carpenters Welfare Fund, Trustees of the Chicago Regional Co #13 (McAnally, Daniel)
April 30, 2020 Filing 13 MOTION by Plaintiffs Chicago Regional Council of Carpenters Apprentice & Trainee Program Fund, Chicago Regional Council of Carpenters Supplemental Retirement Fund, Chicago Regional Council of Carpenters Welfare Fund, Trustees of the Chicago Regional Council of Carpenters Pension Fund for order of dismissal (Agreed) (Attachments: #1 Exhibit)(McAnally, Daniel)
April 28, 2020 Filing 12 MINUTE entry before the Honorable Steven C. Seeger: The parties emailed to the Courtroom Deputy a pdf of an agreed order of dismissal. The submission does not comply with the Federal Rules or this Court's Standing Orders. First, the proposed order does not comply with Rule 41. If the parties want dismissal by court order, then Rule 41(a)(2) requires a motion. Alternatively, Rule 41(a)(1) (A) allows for dismissal without court order, under certain conditions. Second, the Court requires parties to submit proposed orders in Word, not in pdf. The reason for that requirement is that it enable the Court to change (as necessary), sign, and file the document. A pdf does not suffice. Finally, only the Court signs Court orders, so the signatures from counsel are unnecessary on the Order itself. The signatures of counsel on the motion show the consent of the parties for the requested relief. In sum, for a dismissal under Rule 41(a)(2), the parties must file a motion (signed by counsel for all parties) on the Court's docket, and must email a Word version of the proposed judgment to the Court's proposed order inbox. The Court directs the parties to resubmit their request by April 30, 2020. Mailed notice. (jjr, )

March 30, 2020 Opinion or Order Filing 8 ORDER Seconded Amended General Order 20-0012 IN RE: CORONAVIRUS COVID-19 PUBLIC EMERGENCY Signed by the Chief Judge Rebecca R. Pallmeyer on March 30, 2020.

March 18, 2020 Opinion or Order Filing 7 ORDER In light of the public health situation, the Court encourages all parties and their counsel to take precautions, be reasonable, and use common sense in pending cases. In General Order No. 20-0012 dated March 16, 2020 (and amended on March 17), the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois extended all deadlines in civil cases by three weeks. Parties should assume that this Court will accommodate reasonable requests for extensions in the coming weeks, and counsel should show flexibility and accommodate each other too. This Court will grant a six-week extension of fact discovery if requested (and there is no need for an immediate request). Parties should not take depositions before April 17 unless (1) they take place telephonically; and (2) all parties and the witness(es) consent. Even a telephonic deposition often requires an in-person meeting to prepare the witness, so telephonic depositions can go forward only if everyone agrees. If any party or witness wants a deposition to take place in person, the deposition will take place after April 17. Needless to say, that date may change as the public health situation continues to evolve. Parties should continue to make progress in their cases when possible, but in a manner that is consistent with public health and safety. In the meantime, continue to work together cooperatively in the best traditions of our shared profession. The Court thanks all parties and their counsel for their patience and understanding during this difficult time.Signed by the Honorable Steven C. Seeger on 3/18/2020: Mailed notice. (docket1, )
