DEXTER WASHINGTON, Plaintiff, v. DAVID LOWE, Sergeant, Defendant.
ORDER
Vincent L. Briccetti, United States District Judge
On August 2, 2021, defense counsel filed a letter stating defendant received a counteroffer from plaintiff, which he finds agreeable. (Doc. #35). Defense counsel further states they have not been able to reach plaintiff, who is proceeding pro se, to confirm acceptance of the offer and, therefore, request the Court schedule a telephone conference to finalize the settlement and terminate the matter.
The request is GRANTED.
A conference in this case is scheduled for September 2, 2021, at 9:30 a.m. Plaintiff and defense counsel shall attend this conference by calling the following number and entering the access code when requested:
Dial-In Number: (888) 363-4749 (toll free) or (215) 446-3662
Access Code: 1703567
Defense counsel is instructed to continue their attempts to contact plaintiff to finalize the settlement without the need for a conference.
By August 27, 2021, defense counsel shall file a letter regarding the status of settlement and whether they believe the conference is necessary.
Chambers will mail a copy of this Order to plaintiff at the address on the docket.
SO ORDERED.
