LORNA G. SCHOFIELD, District Judge.
Whereas this case has been assigned to me for all purposes, it is hereby,
ORDERED that counsel review and comply with the Court's Individual Rules and Procedures ("Individual Rules") (available at the Court's website, http://nysd.uscourts.gov/judge/Schofield).
ORDERED that counsel for all parties shall appear for a status conference with the Court at the time and place listed below. All pretrial conferences must be attended by the attorney who will serve as principal trial counsel. (Parties who are not within the tri-state area may appear by telephone by calling chambers together from a landline at (212) 805-0288 at the appointed time). Any open legal issues can be addressed at the conference.
ORDERED that counsel for all parties file on ECF a joint letter with the Court no later than February 27, 2020. The parties shall append the most recent scheduling order, if any, to the status letter. The status letter should not exceed 5 pages, and should provide the following information in separate paragraphs:
1. Which, if any, parties will appear for the conference remotely by telephone.
2. A brief statement of the nature of the case, the principal claims and defenses, and the major legal and factual issues that are most important to resolving the case, whether by trial, settlement or dispositive motion;
3. A brief statement by plaintiff as to the basis of subject matter jurisdiction and venue, and a brief statement by each other party as to the presence or absence of subject matter jurisdiction and venue. Statements shall include citations to relevant statutes. In addition, in cases for which subject matter jurisdiction is founded on diversity of citizenship, the parties shall comply with the Court's Individual Rule IV.A.3;
4. A brief description of any (i) motions that have been made and decided, (ii) motions that any party seeks or intends to file, including the principal legal and other grounds in support of and opposition to the motion, (iii) pending motions and (iv) other applications that are expected to be made at the status conference;
5. A brief description of any discovery that has already taken place, and any discovery that is likely to be admissible under the Federal Rules of Evidence and material to proof of claims and defenses raised in the pleadings. (This is narrower than the general scope of discovery stated in Rule 26(b)(1));
6. A computation of each category of damages claimed, see Fed. R. Civ. P. 26(a)(1)(A)(iii);
7. A statement of procedural posture and upcoming deadlines;
8. A statement describing the status of any settlement discussions and whether the parties would like a settlement conference; and
9. Any other information that the parties believe may assist this Court in resolving the action.
Unless notified otherwise by the Court, the parties should presume that any Scheduling Order or Case Management Plan remains in effect notwithstanding the case's transfer. Any request for an extension or adjournment shall be made by letter as provided in Individual Rules I.B.2 and must be received at least 48 hours before the deadline or conference.
DATE AND PLACE OF CONFERENCE: March 5, 2020 at 10:40 a.m. ET, in Courtroom 1106 of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, Thurgood Marshall U.S. Courthouse at 40 Foley Square, New York, New York.
