Minute
MINUTE entry before the Honorable Steven C. Seeger: The Court reviewed the Supplemental Joint Status Report (Dckt. No. 99 ), which stated that the "parties have reached a settlement." The parties are in the process of "exchanging documents confirming same," and they expect to seek a dismissal order within 21 days. In light of the representation that the parties have settled in principle, the complaint is dismissed without prejudice. The dismissal shall automatically convert to a dismissal with prejudice unless a party seeks and obtains relief from the Court by February 5, 2021. Civil case terminated. Mailed notice.

Minute
MINUTE entry before the Honorable Steven C. Seeger: The Court reviewed the Supplemental Joint Status Report (Dckt. No. 97 ). For the second time, the parties take it as a fait accompli that discovery will take place after this Court's deadline for the close of fact discovery. On October 2, 2020, the parties filed a status report stating that they anticipated finishing fact discovery by November 30, 2020, even though the discovery deadline was October 30, 2020. (Dckt. No. 95 ) So the Court sua sponte extended the schedule and set a new deadline of November 30, 2020. (Dckt. No. 93 ) On December 4, 2020, the parties filed the Supplemental Joint Status Report, reporting that they still need to take a few depositions, even though the discovery deadline had expired. The parties "anticipate[d] completing fact discovery by January 31, 2021," as if this Court's deadline did not exist. Id. at 4. Also, in its Order dated October 5, 2020, the Court directed that the status report on December 4 "shall propose a schedule for expert disclosures." (Dckt. No. 96 ) But once again, the Court treated that directive as a suggestion. The status report simply reported that they will "meet and confer regarding an expert discovery schedule to be tendered to the Court for consideration by December 31, 2020." But in the last paragraph of the report, the parties stated that they want to propose a schedule by February 5, 2021 because they are "relatively close to achieving a settlement." Under Rule 16, the right way to adjust the schedule is to file a motion, not take it as a given that the parties can proceed at their own pace. The parties are not treating the schedule like a Court-ordered schedule. Fact discovery will close on January 31, 2021. Plaintiff's expert disclosures are due by February 26, 2021. Plaintiff's expert(s) must be deposed by March 26, 2021. Defendant's expert disclosures are due by April 23, 2021. Defendant's expert(s) must be deposed by May 21, 2021. Mailed notice.
