NOTICE OF PENDING SETTLEMENT AND REQUEST TO CONTINUE CASE MANAGEMENT CONFERENCE; ORDER (AS MODIFIED)
Haywoocl S. Gilliam, Jr. United States District Judge.
Levi Strauss & Co. (“LS&Co.”) respectfully submits this request regarding the upcoming case management conference, currently set for April 23, 2024 at 2:00 p.m., requesting that the conference be continued for four (4) weeks, until May 21, 2024, at 2:00 p.m., and the deadline for filing of the case management statement be continued until May 14, 2024.
LS&Co. filed its Complaint on January 23, 2024. Promptly afterwards, the parties began productive settlement discussions. Those discussions are ongoing. While LS&Co. remains hopeful that the parties can settle the dispute, the parties were not able to agree on final language of a settlement agreement prior to the deadline to file the case management statement, April 16, 2024. The deadline to serve the summons and complaint is April 22, 2024 and LS&Co. will serve Defendants Brunello Cucinelli USA, Inc. and Brunello Cucinelli S.P.A. (“Defendants”) by this date if the settlement is not finalized.
In part because Defendants will not have responded to the Complaint prior to the current date for the case management conference, and also to give the parties time to determine whether final settlement is possible, LS&Co. respectfully requests that the Court continue the case management conference until May 21, 2024 at 2:00 p.m.
No prior extensions have been requested in this case. The requested extension would not affect the Court's case management schedule.
ORDER
The telephonic case management conference scheduled for April 23, 2024 at 2:00 p.m. is continued to May 21, 2024 at 2:00 p.m. The dial-in information and instructions remain the same as previously provided in docket no. 6. The deadline for filing the case management statement is May 14, 2024.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
