Date Filed Document Text
November 30, 2017 Opinion or Order Filing 26 ORDER OF DISCONTINUANCE: It is ORDERED that the above-entitled action is hereby dismissed and discontinued without costs, and without prejudice to the right to reopen the action within thirty days of the date of this Order if the settlement is not consummated; and as further set forth herein. The Clerk of Court is respectfully directed to close this case. SO ORDERED. (Signed by Judge Paul A. Engelmayer on 11/30/2017) (anc)

November 21, 2017 Opinion or Order Filing 24 ORDER granting #22 Letter Motion for Extension of Time to Answer. In light of the Court's order today entering a preliminary injunction, it does not appear that an answer is necessary in this case. However, for avoidance of doubt, the Court grants the one week extension to November 30, 2017 in the event that defendant believes an answer remains relevant or required. Comcast Cable Communications, LLC answer due 11/30/2017 (Signed by Judge Paul A. Engelmayer on 11/21/2017) (cf)
November 21, 2017 Opinion or Order Filing 23 ORDER: The Court directed the parties to submit a joint letter setting out their views as to next steps in this matter. On November 14, 2017, the parties filed such a letter. Dkt. 17. (As further set forth in this Order.) Although the Court carefully resolved the claims before it in its November 7 ruling, the Court did so following highly expedited briefing and an emergency hearing. It is not inconceivable that the Court would reach a different outcome in the event of adifferently configured arbitration and a more measured schedule for briefing and resolution. The Court of course reserves judgment on any such issue pending filing and briefing of a motion to compel. (Signed by Judge Paul A. Engelmayer on 11/21/2017) (cf)
