However, any currently scheduled conferences with the Court are adjourned until further notice.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the parties submit a joint letter to the Court updating the Court on the status of the case no later than August 6, 2021. The parties are directed to the Court's Individual Practices (available at the Court's website, http://nysd.uscourts.gov/judge/Nathan) regarding the submission of letters. The status letter should address the following subjects:
1. A brief statement of the nature of the case and the principal defenses thereto;
2. A statement of all existing deadlines, due dates, and/or cut-off dates;
3. A statement of any previously scheduled conference dates with the Court that have not yet occurred, and the matters which were to be discussed;

The Court is not available to conduct the telephonic final approval hearing on September 22, 2021, at the scheduled time because the Court is conducting a trial during that week.
However, the Court could conduct a hearing that day at 12:45 p.m. The parties should inform the Court whether they have any objection to conducting the hearing by telephone at that time.
SO ORDERED.
