SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION, Plaintiff, v. AT&T INC., et al., Defendants.
ORDER
PAUL A. ENGELMAYER, District Judge:
On September 8, 2022, the Court issued an opinion and order which, inter alia, denied the parties' cross-motions for summary judgment, and stated that an order as to next steps would follow. Dkt. 281. The Court understands that a settlement conference with Magistrate Judge Willis is scheduled for September 26, 2022. See Dkt. 277. The Court directs that, should that conference not result in settlement, the parties thereafter meet and confer and, on October 17, 2022, submit a joint letter setting out their view(s) as to next steps in this case, including a proposed schedule through the start of trial, and including an estimate of the length of a trial. To enable the parties-undistracted by the press of other work in this matter-to prepare for the settlement conference and to participate in such post-settlement-conference communications as may be necessary to finalize a settlement, the Court does not otherwise impose any obligations on counsel until the October 17 joint letter.
SO ORDERED.
