2) The status conference presently set for May 30, 2024, is hereby canceled.
3) A status conference to discuss case progression and the parties' interest in settlement is set for August 15, 2024 at 10:00 A.M. by telephone. Counsel shall use the conferencing instructions assigned to this case to participate in the conference call, Filing No. 148.
