| Jun 13, 2022 | 142 | order on motion to seal document (1) Docket Text: MINUTE entry before the Honorable John J. Tharp, Jr:Defendant's motion to seal [140] is denied without prejudice. The motion does not describe why sealing the listed documents is appropriate, other than to assert that they are included in the scope of a protective order. The existence of a stipulated protective order and the lack of opposition from the other party is not, by itself, enough to overcome the presumption of public access. "Documents that affect the disposition of federal litigation are presumptively open to public view, even if the litigants strongly prefer secrecy, unless a statute, rule, or privilege justifies confidentiality." In re Specht, 622 F.3d 697, 701 (7th Cir. 2010). Defendant may renew its motion to seal by 6/24/22, failure to do so will result in the Court unsealing the documents currently filed under seal.

| Sep 16, 2021 | 122 | set/reset hearings (1) Docket Text: MINUTE entry before the Honorable Maria Valdez: Remote attorneys-only settlement conference is set for 10/19/21 at 11:00 a.m. The Webex link will be sent at a later date, and counsel are to advise chambers as soon as possible if their contact information changes before the conference. Final settlement positions are due by 10/15/21. Failure to comply with the provisions of the Court's Standing Order may result in the unilateral cancellation of the settlement conference by the Court. THE FACT THAT A SETTLEMENT CONFERENCE HAS BEEN SCHEDULED DOES NOT MEAN THAT THE PARTIES SHOULD STOP ENGAGING IN SETTLEMENT DISCUSSIONS AMONG THEMSELVES. The Court finds that too often the parties put settlement talks on hold until the settlement conference with the Magistrate Judge. The Court expects that many cases can be resolved among the parties without the need for court-supervised mediation. If your informal discussions are unsuccessful, the Court will conduct the conference but will expect the parties to apprise her of the status of their ongoing settlement discussions. Because of the volume of settlement conferences conducted by Judge Valdez, once a settlement conference date has been agreed upon, no continuance will be granted without a motion showing extreme hardship.
