| Filing 30 MINUTE entry before the Honorable Keri L. Holleb Hotaling: The parties' joint status report [Dkt. 29] indicates the parties are progressing with fact discovery in advance of the firm 2/6/2026 fact discovery deadline and that they need more fact discovery before a settlement conference. Therefore, the parties' joint motion to reset the settlement conference date [Dkt. 28] is granted. The settlement conference scheduled for 11/12/2025 at 1:30pm is stricken and will be rescheduled at a later date. The Court will reach out to the parties with available dates.

| Filing 12 MINUTE entry before the Honorable Keri L. Holleb Hotaling: Off-the-record pre-settlement call held on 6/2/2025. A three-hour IN-PERSON settlement conference is set for 11/12/2025 at 1:30 p.m. This date is final and can only be changed by the granting of a motion. By 10/1/2025, Plaintiff's counsel shall send a settlement demand to opposing counsel and to Judge Holleb Hotaling's chambers email, [email protected]. By 10/15/2025, defense counsel shall send a settlement offer to opposing counsel and to Judge Holleb Hotaling's chambers email.

| Filing 11 MINUTE entry before the Honorable Keri L. Holleb Hotaling: This matter has been referred to Judge Holleb Hotaling for discovery management and settlement. The Court adopts the parties' proposed discovery dates as follows: Rule 26(a)(1) Disclosures due 6/16/2025; Parties to Issue Written Discovery by 7/16/2025; Parties to Disclose of Rule 26(a)(2)(C) Witnesses by 12/30/2025; Fact Discovery shall close on 3/16/2026. The Court does not expect to extend this very generous 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 date of 9/19/2025 to amend the pleadings or join additional parties. Additionally, the Court sets the next joint status report due date as 8/25/2025; the Court expects discovery to proceed concurrently with any settlement discussions unless ordered otherwise. The parties report they have not yet engaged in any settlement discussions, but are interested in a settlement conference. Therefore, Judge Holleb Hotaling sets an off-the-record pre-settlement conference telephone call for 6/2/2025 at 10:45 a.m. The parties should ensure they call in ONLY at their designated time and not earlier to ensure the pre-settlement call remains private (but not on the record). The counsel that appears for this pre-settlement telephone discussion must be counsel who will represent their respective clients at the conference, or are able to discuss the issues of the case and to schedule the conference on behalf of their clients. The Court expects counsel to discuss issues in the case that may affect the settlement process. Counsel should review Judge Holleb Hotaling's Standing Order on Settlement Conferences prior to the call. The call in information is 855-244-8681, and the participant access code is 2315 0911 461#.
