December 17, 2018 Filing 27 STIPULATION of Dismissal by Consolidated Edison Company Of New York (Molfetta, Michele)
December 17, 2018 Opinion or Order ORDER: This case was settled on the record at a Court conference on October 23, 2018. Ms. Molfetta sent Mr. Henry the stipulation of dismissal in mid-November. ECF No. #26 . The Court ordered the parties to file their stipulation by December 14, 2018, or else the Court would hold a status conference in-person today. Mr. Henry failed to return the executed stipulation of dismissal until moments ago. ECF No. #27 . Mr. Henry's lack of attention to the Court's Orders has again led to wasting the Court and defense counsel's time. Even Mr. Henry's client was compelled to write to the Court to complain about not receiving something that had been promised in the settlement, ECF No. #25 ; however, as defense counsel reported, she had done her part, but Mr. Henry had failed to communicate with his client, ECF No. #26 . These failures to comply with the Court's Orders cannot be tolerated. Mr. Henry is hereby warned that he cannot run his caseload on his own schedule. Should he fail to abide by the Court's Orders in any future case before this Court, I will impose sanctions. He is duly warned. The Court appreciates Ms. Molfetta's attention to this case. The December 17, 2018 status conference is hereby cancelled. Ordered by Magistrate Judge Lois Bloom on 12/17/2018. (Panjini, Madhura)
