September 3, 2025 Filing 19 STIPULATION of Dismissal (Rabicoff, Isaac)
August 22, 2025 Filing 18 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 firm fact discovery deadline of 9/11/2026, noting that this deadline is exceptionally generous. 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. The parties are also to complete the initial disclosures required by Rule 26(a)(1) by 10/17/2025, as proposed. The Court also sets the Rule 16(b) deadline to amend pleadings/add additional parties as 1/20/2026. 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 parties report they have not yet engaged in any settlement discussions but expect to do so shortly. Towards that end, 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 (if it has not already been done at that time). The parties are to file an updated joint status report on 11/13/2025. (rbf, )
August 20, 2025 Filing 17 MINUTE entry before the Executive Committee: Case referred to the Honorable Keri L. Holleb Hotaling for all further proceedings pursuant to Local Rule 72.1. Mailed notice (Attachments: #1 Request for Referral) (gmm)
August 20, 2025 Filing 16 MINUTE entry before the Honorable Georgia N. Alexakis: The Court has reviewed the parties' joint status report #15 and refers this matter to a Magistrate Judge for discovery scheduling and supervision, which includes the authority to set, adjust, and extend all discovery-related deadlines. The referral also includes the authority to conduct a settlement conference, as necessary. The Court will set a dispositive motion schedule after all discovery is completed and following an in-chambers summary judgment conference (described in the Court's standing orders). The Court vacates the 8/26/25 initial status hearing. (ca, )
