Plaintiffs,

v.

ORDER AMENDING SCHEDULING 

ORDER

On April 19, 2016, the Court granted Plaintiffs’ Motion for Partial Summary Judgment 

(ECF No. 51) as to liability in this action. Following that Order, the Court held a telephonic 

status conference to discuss the status of the case and the possibility of amending the Scheduling 

Conference Order (ECF No. 36). The parties also discussed the possibility of setting a settlement 

conference with the Court, Defendant’s recently-filed Motion for Reconsideration of the Order 

Granting Partial Summary Judgment (ECF No. 54), and the appropriate resolution of this case via 

a bench or jury trial. The parties were directed to discuss settlement possibilities with their 

respective clients and to submit potential trial dates to the Court. The parties did so and a 

settlement conference has now been set before Magistrate Judge Sheila Oberto for July 26, 2016.
