ORDER
PAUL A. ENGELMAYER, District Judge:
On August 9, 2021, this Court held a pre-motion conference regarding the parties' premotion letters in anticipation of potential summary judgment motions. The Court reserves judgment as to whether to entertain motions for summary judgment in advance of a bench trial, or whether to consider such motions in the course of a bench trial.
The Court directs the parties to submit a joint letter by August 20, 2021 following their settlement conference on August 16, 2021, notifying the Court whether the case has settled, and if not, setting out each party's estimate of the length of a bench trial on each of the following assumptions: (1) that plaintiff prevails in all aspects of his anticipated motion for summary judgment; (2) that defendants prevail in all aspects of their anticipated motions for summary judgment; and (3) that no anticipated summary judgment motion is granted.
SO ORDERED.
