11-03-2020
ANTOINNE BRAXTON, as Administrator of the Estate of Linda Marie Braxton Jones, and Individually, Plaintiff, v. UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Defendant.
MEMORANDUM OPINION AND ORDER
On November 2, 2020, Magistrate Judge Aboulhosn held a mediation in this case and the parties reached a settlement. See ECF Nos. 54 and 55. Because of this settlement, the court finds it unnecessary to proceed with the remaining dates in the scheduling order and those dates are hereby CANCELLED. Plaintiff has, however, filed a petition to compromise and settle the claim and seeks an order of the court approving the settlement and distribution of the settlement proceeds. See ECF No. 57. A hearing on that petition is hereby SCHEDULED for December 1, 2020, at 10:00 a.m., in Bluefield. Should the parties determine that a hearing on the petition will not be necessary, they can inform the court so that it may be cancelled
The Clerk is directed to send a copy of this Order to counsel of record.
IT IS SO ORDERED this 3rd day of November, 2020.
