ORDER
P. KEVIN CASTEL, District Judge.
The Court entered an Order on May 3, 2019 approving the settlement and requiring counsel to hold the net settlement proceeds in escrow pending the outcome of an application to the Surrogate's Court New York County for an order to distribute the settlement proceeds to the beneficiaries of the estate. The Court entered the Order in the form plaintiff's counsel requested.
The Court has no knowledge or information on why there has not been an order from the Surrogate's Court. It has no information on whether plaintiff promptly moved the Surrogate's Court. It certainly has no jurisdiction to tell the Surrogate's Court what to do or when to do it.
The Court is sympathetic to the plight of the plaintiff who awaits distribution of the proceeds of the settlement but there has been no demonstration that this Court has jurisdiction to do anything.
SO ORDERED.
