Filing 93 MINUTE entry before the Honorable Beth W. Jantz: Settlement conference via video held and continued on 12/21/22.

Wilshire and Scottsdale's position statements are due to the Court's settlement inbox (Settlement_Correspondence_Jantz@ilnd.uscourts.gov) and counsel for the parties by 1/10/23.

Plaintiff's position statement (including a firm new demand) is due by 1/20/23. Defendant EasyWorkforce's position statement (including a firm new offer) is due by 1/23/23 (note this is a slightly different schedule than as discussed during today's conference). All position statements should be 10 pages or less, should include the participants' positions on BOTH choice of law and coverage, and must cite relevant case law. A status hearing on settlement is set for 1/31/23 at 9:00 a.m. The parties and counsel for the insurers should call into the hearing prepared with theirs and their clients' availability for a continued settlement conference, if the Court determines that the parties' updated positions warrants such a continuation.
