NEXUS UNDERWRITING LIMITED, Plaintiff, v. GABLES TRANSPORT INC., Defendant.
ORDER
LORNA G. SCHOFIELD, UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
WHEREAS, the initial pretrial conference in this matter is scheduled for July 12, 2023.
WHEREAS, no significant issues were raised in the parties' joint letter or proposed case management plan. It is hereby
ORDERED that the July 12, 2023, 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 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. It is further
ORDERED that if Defendant seeks to file a motion to dismiss or to transfer venue, it shall file a pre-motion letter pursuant to Individual Rules III.A.1 and III.C.2. It is further
ORDERED, regarding settlement discussions, the parties' request for a referral for settlement discussions through the S.D.N.Y. Mediation Program is GRANTED. A referral order will issue separately.
The parties should be aware that the Court does not extend the deadlines for fact and expert discovery absent compelling circumstances.
