   Order

   TEXT ORDER: The Court has reviewed Defendants' August 28, 2026 letter [D.E. 57]. Defendants' representation that "the parties will not be able to resolve this matter until at least after motion practice" and request "to have this matter removed from the mediation unit at this time" are puzzling to the Court. First, the parties proposed and have been discussing settlement since March 1, 2026. See D.E. 50. In reliance on the parties' representations, the Court attempted to work with the parties for months to conduct settlement negotiations. Further, Defense Counsel failed to appear for the last conference, on August 11, 2026. See Order, Aug. 11, 2026, D.E. 56. Second, Defense Counsel fails to specify what "motion practice" he refers to. If Defense Counsel means summary judgment motion practice, it is this Court's policy that there must be a settlement conference prior to the filing of any motion for summary judgment. Accordingly, the provisions of the August 11, 2026 Order remain in place, and the parties must still file the letter by September 11, 2026. See id. In the interim, the parties shall meet and confer on a schedule for any remaining discovery, as well as a proposed date for a settlement conference with the Court, and submit same as part of the joint report to be filed by September 11, 2026. So Ordered by Magistrate Judge Michael A. Hammer on 8/31/2026. (Hammer, Michael)
