STATUS REPORT
Pursuant to the Court's November 12, 2021 Order, the parties write to inform the Court about the status of their settlement negotiations. In brief, the parties have made additional progress regarding non-monetary terms. There are only a few disputes between them remaining. However, the parties do believe that the assistance of a United States Magistrate Judge may help to expedite a resolution of those disputes.
Accordingly, the parties respectfully request that the Court hold their pending motions (including the cross-motions for summary judgment) in abeyance for thirty (30) additional days, to enable them to hopefully finalize a resolution of this matter, and seek referral to a United States Magistrate Judge.
The Court will refer the parties to Magistrate Judge Krause for assistance in resolving the remaining issues. In the meantime, for administrative purposes, the Court will deny the pending motions without prejudice to renewal in the event the negotiations are not successfully completed. The Clerk of Court is respectfully directed to terminate ECF Nos. 29, 32 and 35.
SO ORDERED.
