ORDER: It is hereby ORDERED that, within thirty (30) days of service of the summons and complaint upon Defendant, 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), 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 Defendant intends to answer or move to dismiss the complaint. If Defendant intends to move to dismiss, the letter shall briefly (in no more than one paragraph) set forth Defendant's basis for its anticipated motion.The deadline for Defendant 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 Defendant to answer or setting a briefing schedule for the motion to dismiss. (AS FURTHER SET FORTH IN THIS ORDER.) (Signed by Judge Margaret M. Garnett on 1/29/2025) (vfr)
