ORDER
Kathleen Kerrigan Chief Judge
This case is before the Court on petitioner's Motion to Proceed Remotely, filed May 3, 2023, which states therein that petitioner resides in Brazil. Upon due consideration and for cause, it is
ORDERED that, on or before September 11, 2023, the parties (i.e., petitioner and respondent) shall confer regarding the status of the case and the parties' views as to the above-referenced pending motion, including any limitation that might exist with respect to proceeding remotely in this case. The Court encourages the parties to cooperate and communicate with their opponent, and to exchange documents and information, and to further develop this case for trial or other resolution, and so that the parties can resolve among themselves any issues that can be resolved without the Court's involvement. It is further
ORDERED that, on or before October 2, 2023, respondent shall file a response to petitioner's above-referenced motion, noting therein any objections, if any, of the granting of the motion. In that response respondent should also describe the current progress in the case, what actions the parties have taken to prepare this case for trial or other resolution, and whether the parties have conferred as directed in the preceding paragraph.
