Case No. 05-CV-73991-DT.
October 15, 2007
ORDER GRANTING JOINT "MOTION TO ESTABLISH A SCHEDULE FOR MOTION TO AMEND THE SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT AND FOR RELIEF FROM JUDGMENT UNDER RULE 60(b)"
Pending before the court is an October 10, 2007 "Motion to Establish a Schedule . . ." filed jointly by Plaintiff International Union, United Automobile, Aerospace, and Agricultural Implement Workers of America ("UAW") and Defendant General Motors Corporation ("GM"). The UAW and GM represent that they agree "the settlement agreement previously approved by this Court should be amended based on an agreement reached between GM and UAW" and will therefore "move to amend the settlement agreement approved by this Court's judgment of March 31, 2006, which made the settlement agreement binding upon GM, UAW, and the Class." (Joint Scheduling Mot. at 1-2.) The UAW and GM filed this motion to request that "this Court hold a conference for the purpose of setting a briefing schedule so that all interested parties can be heard on the issues of whether modification of the settlement is appropriate." (Id. at 2-3.) Under these circumstances, the court agrees that a status conference would be beneficial. Accordingly,
It appears, however, that at least two objectors oppose the motion. ( See Joint Scheduling Mot. at 2 n. 2.)
IT IS ORDERED that the Joint "Motion to Establish a Schedule for Motion to Amend the Settlement Agreement and for Relief from Judgment Under Rule 60(b)" [Dkt. #1436] is GRANTED. The court will hold a status conference on October 30, 2007 at 10:00 a.m.
