6 6 order Order Fri 02/21 6:16 PM
ORDER : It is hereby ORDERED that, within thirty (30) days of service of the summons and complaint upon all Defendants, i.e., upon the completion of service of First Help Financial, LLC, 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 of service of the summons and complaint upon First Help Financial, LLC), the parties must submit a joint letter informing the Court whether the parties have settled. If the parties do not reach a settlement, the parties shall in the joint letter request that the Court either (1) refer the case to mediation or to a Magistrate Judge for a settlement conference (and indicate a preference between the two options), or (2) proceed with an initial status conference. The letter shall also indicate whether Defendants intend to answer or move to dismiss the complaint. If Defendants intend to move to dismiss, the letter shall briefly (in no more than one paragraph) set forth Defendants' basis for its anticipated motion. The deadline for Defendants to answer or otherwise respond to the complaint is STAYED pending the submission of the joint letter. After the parties file the letter, the Court will enter an order setting a deadline for Defendants to answer or setting a briefing schedule for the motion to dismiss. Counsel who have entered a notice of appearance as of the issuance of this Order are directed (1) to notify counsel for all other parties in this action who have not yet appeared by serving upon each of them a copy of this order and the Court's Individual Rules & Practices (Individual Rules), available at https://nysd.uscourts.gov/hon-margaret-m-garnett, forthwith, and (2) to file proof of such notice with the Court. If unaware of the identity of counsel for any of the parties, counsel receiving this order must forthwith send a copy of this order and the Individual Rules to that party personally. (Signed by Judge Margaret M. Garnett on 2/21/2025) (jjc)
