MARY KAY VYSKOCIL, United States District Judge.
The Court is in receipt of the parties' joint status letter in advance of the status conference scheduled for January 17, 2024. After review of the letter, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the January 17 conference is cancelled.
The post-fact discovery conference scheduled for February 14, 2024 at 11:30 AM in Courtroom 18C of the Daniel Patrick Moynihan Courthouse, 500 Pearl Street, New York, New York remains on the schedule. One week before the February 14 conference, the parties shall submit a joint letter regarding the status of the case. The letter should include the following information in separate paragraphs:
a. a statement of any existing deadlines, due dates, and/or cut-off dates;
b. a brief description of any outstanding motions;
c. a brief description of the discovery and undertaken if either party believes any additional discovery that needs to be completed;
d. a statement describing the status of any settlement discussions and whether the parties would like a settlement conference;
e. a statement of the anticipated length of trial and whether the case is to be tried to a jury;
f. a statement of whether any party anticipates filing a motion for summary judgment or a motion to exclude expert testimony (see Individual Practice Rules ¶4(A)(i));
g. any other issue that the parties would like to address at the conference; and any other information that the parties believe may assist the Court in advancing the case to settlement or trial.
If no summary judgment motions are anticipated, the post-discovery conference will serve as a pre-trial conference. Parties should be prepared to discuss scheduling of trial and all pretrial matters.
Any request for an extension or adjournment shall be made by letter filed on ECF and must be received at least 72 hours before the deadline or conference. Failure to comply with the Court's orders, Individual Practice Rules, and/or deadlines may result in sanctions, including monetary penalties, preclusion at trial of information not provided, or preclusion and/or dismissal of claims or defenses.
SO ORDERED.
