April 12, 2024 Filing 19 MINUTE entry before the Honorable Heather K. McShain: This case has been reassigned to Magistrate Judge McShain on consent of the parties to conduct all further proceedings pursuant to Local Rule 73.1 [ #16 , #18 ]. Defendant has filed a motion to dismiss #14 the first amended complaint.

Because "[t]he mere filing of a motion to dismiss does not automatically stay discovery," Huang v. GeLab Cosmetics LLC, 2023 WL 3226198, at *2 (N.D. Ill. May 3, 2023), the parties shall meet and confer and file a joint initial status report on or before 04/22/2024. The parties are directed to review the procedures for initial status reports, including Judge McShain's Standing Order for Initial Status Report, available on the Court's website at www.ilnd.uscourts.gov by selecting the link for Magistrate Judge McShain and then the link for "Initial Status Report." As detailed in Judge McShain's standing order, the report should include the following: (a) a proposed discovery schedule; (b) a statement indicating whether expert discovery and/or discovery of electronically stored information is anticipated; (c) a description of settlement discussions, if any; and (d) any other issues the parties believe should be brought to the Court's attention. Should a dispute arise during discovery, parties are directed to review Magistrate Judge McShain's requirements for discovery motions (available on the Court's website by selecting the link for Magistrate Judge McShain and then the link for "Discovery Motion Requirements") in advance of the filing of any discovery motion. The parties may contact chambers at any time (by email to Chambers_McShain@ilnd.uscourts.gov) if they would like the Court's assistance with settlement. Mailed notice. (pk, )
