July 2, 2021 Opinion or Order Filing 8 ORDER REGARDING EARLY MEDIATION AND THE INITIAL PRETRIAL CONFERENCE: This case has been assigned to this Court for all purposes. In the Court's experience, cases of this nature often benefit from early mediation. To that end, by separate Order to be entered today, the Court is referring this case to the Court-annexed Mediation Program. Unless and until the Court orders otherwise, the parties shall schedule a mediation to take place no later than two weeks before the initial pretrial conference scheduled below. Further, if the parties believe that there is need for limited discovery to facilitate the mediation, they shall confer with respect to the scope of such discovery and promptly raise any disputes with the Court in accordance with its Individual Rules and Practices in Civil Cases (available at https://nysd.uscourts.gov/hon-jesse-m-furman). If the parties believe that early mediation would not be appropriate in this case, they shall file a letter motion seeking relief from the foregoing requirements no later than the deadline to answer. Additionally, if the parties believe that additional time is needed for the mediation process contemplated by this Order (for example, because of a delay in service on, or the appearance of, a defendant or because the Court-annexed Mediation Program is unavailable to hold a mediation before the initial pretrial conference scheduled below), the parties may file a letter motion with this Court seeking an appropriate extension of the deadlines herein or a reasonable adjournment of the initial pretrial conference. Separate and apart from the foregoing, it is hereby ORDERED that counsel for all parties shall appear for an initial pretrial conference with the Court on October 7, 2021, at 4:30 p.m. in Courtroom 1105 of the Thurgood Marshall Courthouse, 40 Centre Street, New York, New York. ( As further set forth in this Order.) Initial Conference set for 10/7/2021 at 04:30 PM in Courtroom 1105, 40 Centre Street, New York, NY 10007 before Judge Jesse M. Furman. (Signed by Judge Jesse M. Furman on 7/1/2021) (vfr)
July 2, 2021 Opinion or Order Filing 7 MEDIATION REFERRAL ORDER: It is hereby ORDERED that this case is referred to the Court-annexed Mediation Program. The parties are notified that Local Rule 83.9 shall govern the mediation and are directed to participate in the mediation in good faith. The mediation should take place at least two weeks prior to the Initial Pretrial Conference, which is currently scheduled (by separate Order to be entered today) for October 7, 2021. The mediation will have no effect upon any scheduling Order issued by this Court without leave of this Court. Mediators will be assigned based on the nature of suit. Additional expertise requests should promptly be directed to the Mediation Office. SO ORDERED. Please reference the following when corresponding with the Mediation Office. E-mail MediationOffice@nysd.uscourts.gov, telephone (212) 805-0643, and facsimile (212) 805-0647. Mediator to be Assigned by 7/12/2021. (Signed by Judge Jesse M. Furman on 7/1/2021) (vfr)
