SIGNATURE CLEANING SERVICES, INC., Plaintiff, v. FEDERAL INSURANCE COMPANY, Defendant.
ORDER
JESSE M. FURMAN, United States District Judge.
In light of the COVID-19 situation, the Court will not hold the upcoming conference in this case in person. Counsel should submit their proposed case management plan and joint letter by the Thursday prior to the conference, as directed in the Court's earlier Scheduling Order. In their joint letter, the parties should also indicate whether they can do without a conference altogether. If so, the Court may enter a case management plan and scheduling order and the parties need not appear. If not, the Court will hold the initial conference by telephone, albeit perhaps at a different time. To that end, counsel should indicate in their joint letter dates and times during the week of the conference that they would be available for a telephone conference. In either case, counsel should review and comply with the procedures for telephone conferences set forth in the Court's Individual Rules and Practices for Civil Cases, available at https://nysd. uscourts.gov/hon-iesse-m-furman.
In addition, Plaintiff has twice been ordered to enter an appearance on the docket, see ECF Nos. 24, 31. To date, no appearance has been entered, despite Plaintiff's counsel making multiple filings in this case. Accordingly, Plaintiff is ordered to enter an appearance by no later than July 14, 2022. Failure to do so may result in sanctions.
SO ORDERED.
