Opinion
C.A. 12-cv-30132-MAP
10-29-2013
MAURO SUAREZ and FRANCES BOYES, individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated, Plaintiffs v. UNITED FOR HIRE, LLC, Defendant
ORDER REGARDING STATUS CONFERENCE
SET FOR NOVEMBER 7, 2013
PONSOR, U.S.D.J.
After Plaintiffs moved for a status conference to discuss further proceedings in the case (to which Defendant assented), the Clerk's Office set this case for status conference at 3:00 p.m. on November 7, 2013. In light of the fact that this case was formally closed on February 1, 2013, by operation of the court's Sixty Day Settlement Order of Dismissal (Dkt. No. 20), the court is reluctant to reopen the case. See Pratt v. Philbrook, 926 F. Supp. 21 (D. Mass. 1996), vacated, Pratt v. Philbrook, 109 F.3d 18 (1st Cir. 1997), remanded to Pratt v. Philbrook, 174 F.R.D. 230 (D. Mass. 1997), aff'd, Pratt v. Philbrook, 141 F.3d 1150 (D. Mass. 1998).
Counsel shall appear at the status conference prepared to discuss the Pratt series of cases.
It is So Ordered.
