Pursuant to the order entered March 5, 2012 (Docket Entry No. 81), counsel for the parties called the Court on March 28, 2012, at which time plaintiff's counsel advised that he had completed negotiations with the worker's compensation carrier, and received original documents from the carrier relating the worker's compensation case. Plaintiff's counsel hopes to communicate with the plaintiff by March 30, 2012, to determine if a final settlement can be reached.
Counsel for the parties shall convene a telephone conference call with the Court on Monday, April 30, 2012, at 9:00 a.m., to be initiated by defendant's counsel, to address whether the parties have been able to reach a final settlement, and, if the parties will not be able to reach a settlement in this case, to address deadlines for the remaining progression of the case and rescheduling the trial.
If the parties have filed an agreed order or stipulation of dismissal prior to April 30, 2012, the conference call will be automatically cancelled.
It is so ORDERED.
