ORDER (1) TERMINATING AS MOOT PLAINTIFF'S COUNSEL'S MOTION TO WITHDRAW (ECF No. 25); (2) DENYING DEFENDANTS' ORAL MOTION TO DISMISS FOR FAILURE TO PROSECUTE; AND (3) REFERRING THE MATTER FOR A RESCHEDULED SETTLEMENT CONFERENCE
MATTHEW F. LEITMAN, UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
On November 8, 2021, counsel for Plaintiff Michaela Lynn Williams filed a motion to withdraw as Williams's counsel. (See Mot., ECF No. 25.) On February 3, 2022, the Court held a hearing on that motion. At that hearing, Williams's counsel, Geoffrey H. Baskerville, and Williams explained to the Court that they have repaired their relationship and that neither wished to proceed with the motion to withdraw. Accordingly, the Court TERMINATES AS MOOT Williams's counsel's motion to withdraw (ECF No. 25).
During that same hearing, Defendants made an oral motion to dismiss for failure to prosecute. For the reasons stated on the record at the hearing, the Court DENIES Defendants' motion to dismiss.
Finally, as further explained on the record, the Court REFERS this case to Magistrate Judge Anthony Patti to conduct a settlement conference with the parties.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
