PAPERLESS ORDER: This matter involving a claim brought under the FLSA has been referred to me to conduct a settlement conference19 . To facilitate matters, by Wednesday, April 16, 2025, counsel shall confer and file a joint motion with at least four proposed settlement conference dates that fall within the 28-day period after Defendant's expected filing of a response to Plaintiff's statement of claim. I will thereafter issue an order setting forth the date, time, place, and procedures for the settlement conference. For planning purposes, the settlement conference will be held virtually via Zoom and my general preference is to hold such conferences on Tuesdays and Thursdays when I do not have regularly scheduled criminal duty court. In addition, a representative with full settlement authority for each party must be available to participate in the conference. Signed by U.S. Magistrate Judge Shaniek Mills Maynard on 4/11/2025.

4 4 order - Order (PAPERLESS or pdf attached) Mon 01/06 6:34 PM
NOTICE OF COURT PRACTICES ON SEALING/REDACTION: Notwithstanding the requirements of Local Rule 5.4 and/or any protective order, the parties are prohibited from filing anything under seal or from redacting any content from a court filing or exhibit/attachment (except for the personal data identifiers listed in Section 6A of this District's CM/ECF Administrative Procedures) unless the party with a stated interest in sealing/redaction first seeks and obtains permission from the Court via a motion for leave. The motion for leave must be filed after meaningful conferral with the opposing party (or parties) and be filed publicly except as authorized by prior Court order. Additionally, the motion for leave shall specify the particularized basis for sealing the proposed material; shall describe the information/documents to be sealed with as much specificity as possible but without attaching the proposed sealed material; shall indicate the proposed duration of the seal request and the reasons why means other than sealing are unavailable or unsatisfactory; shall contain a separate certificate of conference section indicating the results of the parties' meaningful conferral; and shall be filed at last three business days before any related deadline to permit adequate Court consideration. The party seeking authorization to seal material shall not file or otherwise attach the subject material until the Court has ruled on the motion for leave. Finally, all parties are advised that mere designation of material as confidential and/or otherwise subject to a protective order does not bind the Court, does not supplant the requirements of the Local Rules on sealing, and does not otherwise relieve the party seeking sealing/redaction from justifying its request under applicable legal principals governing the presumption of public access to civil proceedings. Failure to comply with this Notice may result in immediate unsealing of any unauthorized shielded material. Signed by Judge Aileen M. Cannon on 1/6/2025. (bbk)
