Opinion
22 Civ. 6704 (LGS)
12-01-2022
BERNICE FRIMPONG, Plaintiff, v. RITE-AID OF NEW YORK, INC., et al., Defendants.
ORDER
LORNA G. SCHOFIELD, District Judge:
WHEREAS, an Order issued November 1, 2022, scheduled the initial pretrial conference for this matter for December 7, 2022, at 4:10 p.m. The parties submitted a joint letter and proposed case management plan on November 30, 2022.
WHEREAS, no significant issues were raised in the materials. It is hereby
ORDERED that the December 7, 2022, initial pretrial conference is CANCELLED. If the parties believe that a conference would nevertheless be useful, they should inform the court immediately so the conference can be reinstated. The case management plan and scheduling order will issue in a separate order. The parties' attention is particularly directed to the provisions for periodic status letters, and the need for a pre-motion letter to avoid cancellation of the final conference and setting of a trial date. The parties should be aware that the Court does not extend the deadlines for fact and expert discovery absent compelling circumstances. It is further
ORDERED that the parties' request for a referral to the SDNY Mediation Program is GRANTED. An order referring the parties to mediation will issue separately.
