Iesha McNair v. Big Bowl LLC

Opinion

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK

IESHA MCNAIR, Plaintiff, 25-CV-8017 (VSB) (RFT) -against- ORDER BIG BOWL LLC, Defendant.

ROBYN F. TARNOFSKY, United States Magistrate Judge: IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that, within 14 days of the date of this order, Plaintiff and Defendant must meet and confer for at least one hour in a good-faith attempt to settle this action. In their discussions, the parties should consider whether Plaintiff has satisfied the threshold requirement of standing. See, e.g., Calcano v. Swarovski N. Am. Ltd., 36 F.4th 68, 77-78 (2d Cir. 2022); Harty v. W. Point Realty, Inc., 28 F.4th 435, 443-44 (2d Cir. 2022). To the extent the parties are unable to settle the case themselves, they must also discuss whether further settlement discussions through the District’s Court-annexed mediation program or in a settlement conference before the undersigned would be productive at this time. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that, within 18 days of the date of this order, the parties must submit a joint letter informing the Court whether the parties have settled. If the parties do not reach a settlement, the parties shall, in their joint letter, request that the Court either: (1) refer the case to mediation, (2) set a date for a settlement conference, or (3) proceed with an initial case management conference.
