MAC E. FREEMAN, et al., Plaintiffs, v. C R BARD, INC., et al., Defendants.
ORDER REGARDING JOINT NOTICE OF SETTLEMENT (Doc. 29)
Barbara A. McAuliffe UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE
On August 16, 2021, Plaintiffs Mac E. Freeman, Deena A. Ugalde, Aaron M. Freeman, and Jason L Freeman (“Plaintiffs”) and Defendants C. R. Bard, Inc. and Bard Peripheral Vascular, Inc. (“Defendants”) (collectively “Parties”) filed a joint notice of settlement and request for additional time to file dispositional documents. (Doc. 29.) The Parties indicate that they have reached a full settlement in principle of this action and jointly seek a 90-day extension of time to file dispositional documents. The Parties explain that additional time is needed to finalize settlement documents because the settlement involves a global settlement of an inventory of cases. (Id.)
Pursuant to Local Rule 160, and good cause appearing, the Court ORDERS the parties, no later than November 15, 2021, to file appropriate papers to dismiss or conclude this action in its entirety. If the parties require additional time to submit dispositional documents, they may file a request for an extension supported by good cause. Local Rule 160(b). This Court VACATES all other pending dates and matters. Failure to comply with this order may be grounds for the imposition of sanctions on counsel or parties who contributed to violation of this order. See Local Rule 160, Local Rule 272.
T IS SO ORDERED.
