Tomas Velez, Plaintiff, v. Eagle Bending Machines, Inc., Defendant.
OPINION & ORDER :
On February 12, 2020, I held a telephonic status conference regarding this action with counsel for Plaintiff Tomas Velez ("Plaintiff"), Defendant Eagle Bending Machines, Inc. ("Defendant"), and Third-Party Defendant Advanced Arch Grilleworks, Inc. ("Third-Party Defendant"). Because I omitted to confirm that a court reporter was on the line during this conference, I provide, as follows, a brief summary of the updates presented by the parties.
Plaintiff and Defendant reported that they have reached a settlement agreement in principle dismissing all of Plaintiff's claims against Defendant. Defendant represented that, upon finalization of the settlement agreement, it will discontinue its Third-Party action against Third-Party Defendant. In light of the updates provided by the parties during the status conference, it is hereby:
ORDERED that Plaintiff and Defendant submit, by on or before March 12, 2021, a joint update letter regarding the status of their settlement agreement. In the time leading up to this date, Plaintiff and Defendant are also directed to keep Third-Party Defendant apprised of the status of their settlement discussions. SO ORDERED. Dated: February 16, 2021
New York, New York
