order Order on Motion to Adjourn Conference Tue 06/23 9:44 AM
ORDER granting19 Motion to Adjourn Conference -- This case is already nine months old and the parties have yet to begin discovery. I will grant this request to adjourn but will not approve further delay absent the most compelling and unforeseeable of extraordinary circumstances. Moreover, in light of the delay to date and the likelihood that the parties will have an incentive to exchange information about the case informally in anticipation of mediation, I will expect to set an expedited discovery schedule if the parties do not reach a settlement agreement. The initial conference previously scheduled for June 24, 2020 is rescheduled for August 26, 2020 at 9:30 a.m. Ordered by Magistrate Judge James Orenstein on 6/23/2020. (Gutmann, Joseph)
