   MINUTE entry before the Honorable Keri L. Holleb Hotaling: This matter has been referred to Judge Holleb Hotaling for discovery management and settlement. The Court adopts the following deadlines proposed by the parties [Dkt. 96]: Rule 26(a)(1) disclosures are due August 31, 2026; the first date by which to issue written discovery is August 31, 2026; the Civil Rule 16(b)(3)(A) deadline, after which good cause must be shown to add parties or amend pleadings is September 15, 2026; and the generous and FIRM fact discovery deadline is: June 7, 2027. The Court does not expect to extend this firm fact discovery deadline and in no case will do so without written motion detailing exceptionally good cause. The Court expects the parties to manage their discovery obligations accordingly to meet their fact discovery deadline. The Court will not set an expert discovery schedule until it is clear the fact discovery deadline will be met. The parties are reminded to promptly bring any discovery motions before the Court, including motions to enforce subpoenas or motions for protective orders. The parties report they have not yet engaged in any settlement discussions, and disagree about the timing of the same here. Towards that end, the parties are to review Judge Holleb Hotaling's Standing Order on Settlement Conferences, and the parties' next status report is to detail when Plaintiff would be ready to make a settlement demand on Defendant. Additionally, the Court notes its familiarity with the related case, Su v. Apex Management Group I, Inc., No. 1:24-cv-3609. The Court also notes that Judge Holleb Hotaling's schedule typically is booked 2-3 months out from present with regards to settlement conferences, so the parties should notify Judge Holleb Hotaling's chambers as soon as possible once they realize they want a settlement conference; they do not need to wait for the next status report date. The parties are to file an updated joint status report on 10/2/2026. (rbf, ) (Entered: 07/30/2026)
