By February 25, 2025, the parties are directed to email Courtroom Deputy Diljah Shaw at Diljah_Shaw@nysd.uscourts.gov with three mutuall y convenient dates to schedule a settlement conference. Due to the Court's busy calendar, settlement conferences must generally be scheduled at least six to eight weeks in advance. The Court will likely be unable to accommodate last-minute req uests for settlement conferences, and the parties should not anticipate that litigation deadlines will be adjourned in response to late requests for settlement conferences.
