HAYWOOD S. GILLIAM, JR., District Judge.
In mid-January 2018, the parties contacted Magistrate Judge Corley to set a date for a further settlement conference in this matter. While the parties originally contemplated a settlement conference occurring in February or early March 2018, the earliest date that was available for Magistrate Judge Corley, the parties and their respective counsel for an in-person conference was March 28, 2018. The parties are now scheduled to have a preliminary telephonic settlement conference with Magistrate Judge Corley on March 1, 2018, to be followed by an in-person settlement conference on March 28, 2018 [Dkt. No. 211].
On January 30, 2018, the Court entered its order granting, with leave to amend, Lenovo's motion to dismiss plaintiffs' claim under New York State law [Dkt. No. 210]. The order provided that any amended complaint be filed by plaintiffs by February 28, 2018, that a joint case management conference statement be filed by March 5, 2018, and that there will be a case management conference on March 12, 2018.
In light of the upcoming settlement conferences in March 2018, the parties have conferred and agree that, subject to Court approval, a modest extension of the deadlines set forth in the Court's January 30, 2018 order would allow the parties in the short term to focus on settlement efforts while conserving judicial resources.
Subject to Court approval, the parties propose the following schedule:
The parties will advise the Court of the status of the settlement discussions in their case management conference statement and will propose an overall case schedule at that time unless the case has been resolved or substantial progress towards settlement has been made.
IT IS SO STIPULATED.
IT IS SO ORDERED. except the case management conference will be held on April 10, 2018 at 2:00 p.m.
