December 6, 2021 Opinion or Order Filing 17 MINUTE entry before the Honorable John Robert Blakey: The Court grants Plaintiffs' second unopposed motion for extension of time, see #16 . Plaintiff shall respond to Defendants' partial motion to dismiss #7 by 1/6/22, and, depending on whether Plaintiff files an amended complaint or a brief in opposition to the motion, Defendant shall file either a responsive pleading (i.e., an answer or a renewed motion to dismiss) or a reply in support of its motion by 1/27/22. Additionally, based upon the representations in the parties' status report #16 , the Court sets the following case management dates: the parties shall exchange Rule 26(a)(1) disclosures by 12/23/21, issue written discovery by 2/15/22, and complete fact discovery by 9/30/22. The parties shall file an updated status report by 9/1/22 confirming that they are on track to meet the fact discovery deadline, confirming that they in fact require expert discovery (and, if so, proposing a reasonable schedule for same), and indicating whether any party plans to seek summary judgment. The Court appreciates that the parties do not want a settlement conference at this time, see #16 6, but nonetheless encourages the parties to exhaust the possibility of settlement before spending time and money on expert discovery and motion practice.

October 22, 2021 Opinion or Order Filing 5 MINUTE entry before the Honorable John Robert Blakey: This case has been assigned to the calendar of the Honorable John Robert Blakey. The litigants are ordered to review and fully comply with all of this Court's standing orders, which are available on Judge Blakey's information page on the Court's official website: http://www.ilnd.uscourts.gov/. In addition, the parties must file a status report no later than 12/3/2021, using the model template set forth in this Court's standing order regarding Initial (or Reassignment) Status Conferences. Failure by any party to file the status report by the requisite deadline (either jointly or, if necessary, individually with an explanation as to why a joint report could not be filed) may result in a summary dismissal of the case for failure to prosecute, or an entry of default against any served defendant(s) failing to comply with this order. During the litigation, the attorneys must also appear at all hearing dates set by the Court or noticed by the parties. If an attorney has a conflict with a set court date, the attorney must notify Judge Blakey's Courtroom Deputy, Gloria Lewis, at (312) 818-6699. If appropriate, the Court will then reset the matter. Advising opposing counsel of a scheduling conflict is not a substitute for communicating directly with the Court. Mailed notice (gel, )
