BRYAN VELAZQUEZ, on behalf of himself and all other persons similarly situated, Plaintiff, v. SCHOLL'S WELLNESS COMPANY, LLC, Defendant.
ORDER
RONNIE ABRAMS, UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
This case has been assigned to me for all purposes. It is hereby:
ORDERED that, within thirty (30) days from the date of this Order, the parties must meet and confer for at least one hour in a good-faith attempt to settle this action. To the extent the parties are unable to settle the case themselves, they must also discuss whether further settlement discussions through the district's court-annexed mediation program or before a magistrate judge would be productive at this time.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that within fifteen (15) additional days (i.e., within forty-five (45) days from the date of this Order), the parties must submit a joint letter requesting that the Court either (1) refer the case to mediation or a magistrate judge (and indicate a preference between the two options), or (2) schedule an initial status conference in the matter.
SO ORDERED.
