Holleb Hotaling: The parties report [Dkt. 21] they are progressing smoothly with discovery and are engaged in ongoing settlement negotiations amongst themselves in advance of the firm 12/5/2025 fact discovery deadline. The parties are to file an updated joint status report on 10/14/2025. The parties should keep in mind that Judge Holleb Hotaling's schedule typically is booked 2-3 months out from present with regards to settlement conferences, so the parties should notify Judge Holleb Hotaling's chambers as soon as possible if they desire the Court's assistance with settlement; they do not need to wait for the next status report date.

June 6, 2025 Filing 16 MINUTE entry before the Honorable Keri L. Holleb Hotaling: The Court is in receipt of the parties' Rule 26(f) planning report [Dkt. 15] and adopts the following deadlines: Rule 26(a)(1) disclosures are to be made by 6/20/2025; parties to answer written discovery by 7/11/2025 (they report that this is well underway from before the case was removed to federal court); fact discovery is to be completed by 12/5/2025. The Court does not expect to extend this firm fact discovery deadline and in no case will do so without written motion detailing exceptionally good cause. It is not the Court's practice to subdivide discovery; the Court trusts the parties to manage their discovery obligations accordingly to meet their fact discovery deadline. The Court will not set an expert discovery schedule until it is clear the fact discovery deadline will be met. The parties are reminded to promptly bring any discovery motions before the Court, including motions to enforce subpoenas or motions for protective orders. The Court also sets a Rule 16(b) Deadline to amend pleadings of 9/19/2025. The parties report they have not yet engaged in any settlement discussions. Plaintiff is interested in a settlement conference, but Defendant is not at this time, but may be interested after Plaintiff's deposition. Nonetheless, the parties are to review Judge Holleb Hotaling's Standing Order on Settlement Conferences, and the parties' next status report is to detail when Plaintiff would be ready to make a settlement demand on Defendant, or state the state the date such a demand was made. The parties are to file an updated joint status report on 7/17/2025. (rbf, )
