JOHN BRIGGS, Plaintiff, v. CITY OF DETROIT, et al., Defendants.
ORDER DIRECTING PLAINTIFF TO ORDER PORTION OF HEARING TRANSCRIPT AND TO PROVIDE TRANSCRIPT TO MAGISTRATE JUDGE
MATTHEW F. LEITMAN, UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
On February 5, 2024, the Court held a hearing on Defendant Stanley Kropik's motion for summary judgment in this action. At the conclusion of the hearing, the Court explained on the record why it made sense for both parties to pursue settlement efforts. The Court then referred this matter for a settlement conference before the assigned Magistrate Judge (see Order, ECF No. 36), and the Magistrate Judge has now set the settlement conference for April 25, 2024. (See Notice, ECF No. 37.)
The Court believes that the Magistrate Judge would benefit substantially from reviewing the Court's comments prior to the settlement conference. Accordingly, the Court DIRECTS Plaintiff John Briggs (1) to order the portion of the transcript of the February 5, 2024, hearing in which the Court discussed settlement efforts and (2) to provide that portion of the transcript to the Magistrate Judge at least one week before the settlement conference. Kropik shall reimburse Briggs for half of the cost of ordering the transcript.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
I hereby certify that a copy of the foregoing document was served upon the parties and/or counsel of record on February 12, 2024, by electronic means and/or ordinary mail.
