| Filing 15 MOTION by Plaintiff Chicago Rabbinical Council, Inc. for settlement Unopposed Motion to Modify Settlement Conference Scheduling (Lichtenstein, Nathan) |
| Filing 14 MINUTE entry before the Honorable Maria Valdez: This case has been referred to Judge Valdez for discovery supervision and a settlement conference. The parties have indicated in their Amended Joint Initial Status Report #11 that they would like to participate in a settlement conference. Accordingly, Plaintiff is to submit a demand letter to Defendant no later than 4/3/23, and Defendant must respond with an offer letter by 4/17/23. Both letters must comply with this Court's standing order and instructions governing settlement conferences and should be electronically submitted to the Court at Proposed_Order_Valdez@ilnd.uscourts.gov no later than 4/18/23. If after reviewing the letters the Court believes a settlement conference will be fruitful, the parties will be contacted with available dates. (rbf, ) |
| Filing 13 Pursuant to Local Rule 72.1, this case is hereby referred to the calendar of Honorable Maria Valdez for the purpose of holding proceedings related to: Discovery supervision (including the authority to adjust all deadlines) and settlement conference. (mw, ) Emailed notice. |
| Filing 12 MINUTE entry before the Honorable Edmond E. Chang: On review of the amended status report, R. 11, the Defendant intends to move to dismiss based on the prior settlement agreement (and apparently the additional tender of funds). The motion would not properly be a Rule 12(b)(6) motion, but instead an early summary judgment motion. So some limited discovery, or an agreement on a set of facts, would be needed. The parties also request a settlement conference. The case is referred to the magistrate judge for discovery supervision and a settlement conference. The Court will review whatever is filed on the responsive pleading deadline of 04/03/2023 and go from there, but hopefully the parties will agree to pause the litigation to devote time to settlement efforts instead. The tracking status hearing of 03/24/2023 is reset to 04/07/2023 at 8:30 a.m., but to track the case only (no appearance is required, the case will not be called). Emailed notice (mw, ) |

| Filing 7 MINUTE entry before the Honorable Edmond E. Chang: Initial tracking status hearing set for 03/24/2023 at 8:30 a.m. to track the case only (no appearance is required, the case will not be called). Instead, the Court will set the case schedule after reviewing the written status report. The parties must file a joint initial status report with the content described in the attached status report requirements by 03/16/2023. Plaintiff must still file the report even if Defendant has not responded to requests to craft a joint report. If Defendant has not been served, then Plaintiff must complete the part of the report on the progress of service. Also, counsel must carefully review Judge Chang's Case Management Procedures, available online at ilnd.uscourts.gov (navigate to Judges / District Judges / Judge Edmond E. Chang). Because the Procedures are occasionally revised, counsel must read them anew even if the counsel or the party has appeared before Judge Chang in other cases.
