| Sep 27, 2023 | 23 | MINUTE entry before the Honorable Edmond E. Chang: The joint motion 21 to stay in light of the settlement is granted, and to avoid unnecessary status hearings and to provide time to exchange consideration, the case is dismissed without prejudice and with full leave to reinstate via motion filed by 11/06/2023. If no motion to reinstate is filed by that date, then the dismissal will automatically convert to a dismissal with prejudice, without further action by the Court. Status hearing of 10/06/2023 is vacated. Civil case terminated. Mailed notice (lp, ) (Entered: 09/27/2023) (1) |

| Aug 25, 2023 | 20 | MINUTE entry before the Honorable Edmond E. Chang: Although the unopposed extension motion (the third one) to respond to the complaint 18 is granted to 09/20/2023, there unfortunately will be no more extensions. In reality, the unspecific reference to a "third party" who needs more time, R. 18 at 2-3, is insufficient to justify the current extension, but the Court will grant it anyway to give one final chance at pre-response resolution. If the actual, detailed grounds for extension would have warranted under-seal treatment, then the parties could have filed a motion for appropriate relief. In any event, the motion is granted. The tracking status hearing of 09/15/2023 is reset to 10/06/2023 at 8:30 a.m., but to track the case only (no appearance is required, the case will not be called). Instead, the parties shall file the joint initial status report by 09/27/2023. Emailed notice (mw, ) (Entered: 08/25/2023) (1) |

Chang: The Defendant's second unopposed extension motion to respond to the complaint 13 is granted to 08/30/2023, but given the length of the extensions, no more will be granted absent the most extraordinary circumstances. The initial tracking status hearing of 08/11/2023 is reset to 09/15/2023 at 8:30 a.m., but to track the case only (no appearance is required, the case will not be called).

| May 31, 2023 | 8 | MINUTE entry before the Honorable Edmond E. Chang: Initial tracking status hearing set for 06/30/2023 at 8:30 a.m. to track the case only (no appearance is required, the case will not be called). Instead, the Court will set the case schedule after reviewing the written status report. The parties must file a joint initial status report with the content described in the attached status report requirements by 06/22/2023. Plaintiff must still file the report even if Defendant has not responded to requests to craft a joint report. Also, counsel (or the parties, if proceeding pro se) must carefully review Judge Chang's Case Management Procedures, available online at ilnd.uscourts.gov (navigate to Judges / District Judges / Judge Edmond E. Chang). Because the Procedures are occasionally revised, counsel (or the party, if proceeding pro se) must read them anew even if the counsel or the party has appeared before Judge Chang in other cases.
