TIMOTHY ANDREW MCCAFFREY, Plaintiff, v. GATEKEEPER USA, INC., et al., Defendants.
ORDER
VERNON S. BRODERICK, UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE:
On July 11, 2022, I ordered that the parties meet and confer and then submit a joint letter to the Court indicating whether the parties consent to a referral for settlement discussions. (Doc. 322.) I am in receipt of a letter from Defendants A. John Leontakianakos and John Seetoo indicating that they believe a mediation referral is “premature.” (Doc. 323.) Plaintiff did not sign the letter. (See id.) Accordingly, it is hereby:
ORDERED that the parties meet and confer and, on or before July 28, 2022, submit a joint status update to the Court indicating whether the parties consent to a referral for settlement discussions, and if so, whether the parties would like to be referred (a) to the Southern District's Mediation Program or (b) to Magistrate Judge Robert W. Lehrburger. The joint status update must be signed by Plaintiff, Defendant A. John Leontakianakos, and Defendant John Seetoo. If the parties have a difference of opinion, they may set out their differing positions within the same joint letter.
The Clerk of Court is respectfully directed to mail copies of this Order to Plaintiff, Defendant A. John Leontakianakos, and Defendant John Seetoo.
SO ORDERED.
