ETHAN MURPHY, et al., Plaintiffs, v. PHILIPPE LAJAUNIE, et al., Defendants.
ORDER
SARAH NETBURN, UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE.
In light of Plaintiffs' July 28, 2021 status report, the parties are directed to contact Courtroom Deputy Rachel Slusher by email at RachelSlusher@nysd.uscourts.gov with three (3) mutually convenient dates, to schedule a settlement conference for a time when they believe it would be productive. Settlement conferences must generally be scheduled at least four to six weeks in advance. The Court will likely be unable to accommodate last-minute requests for settlement conferences, and the parties should not anticipate that litigation deadlines will be adjourned in response to late requests for settlement conferences.
The parties should assume that the settlement conference will be conducted using a platform that will allow the Court to hold confidential conversations with counsel and the party representative(s) for each side.
SO ORDERED.
