ORDER GRANTING JOINT MOTION TO CONTINUE MANDATORY SETTLEMENT CONFERENCE [ECF NO. 79]
Honorable Michael S. Berg United States Magistrate Judge
On March 1, 2022, the parties filed a “Joint Motion to Postpone Settlement Conference Date.” (ECF No. 79.) They ask the Court to continue the Mandatory 1 Settlement Conference (“MSC”) currently scheduled for March 10, 2022, “to a date on or after April 4, 2022.” (Id. at 3.) In support, the parties state that the requested extension is warranted to give them time to complete and review the deposition testimony of Defendants and Counterclaimants Jerome Falic and Simon Falic, which “will provide the Parties additional information relevant to potential settlement of this matter.” (Id. at 4.)
Having considered the parties' joint motion, as well as supporting declaration from Plaintiffs' counsel, and finding good cause, the Court GRANTS the motion. Accordingly, the Court CONTINUES the MSC currently scheduled for March 10, 2022, at 9:30 a.m. until April 14, 2022 , at 1:30 p.m. The parties shall submit their confidential settlement statements directly to Magistrate Judge Berg's chambers (via hand delivery or by e-mail to the Court at efileberg@casd.uscourts.gov) by April 7, 2022 .
All other guidelines and requirements pertaining to the MSC remain in effect. (See ECF No. 40 at 4-6.)
IT IS SO ORDERED. 2
