| 2019-05-14 | 35 | ORDER re 33 Notice of Hearing. Following the court's Order Adjudicating Disputed Redactions, ECF No. 32, and at the request of Chief Judge Levy, I held a telephonic status conference on May 14, 2019, with Attorneys Bond and Lizotte for the plaintiff and defendants respectively. Counsel reported that the defendants served an updated production of documents on May 14, 2019, and that, accordingly, no further dispute exists between the parties on the merits, although the issue of the plaintiff's reasonable attorney fees remains to be negotiated. After discussion and at the parties' joint suggestion, I SET the following remaining schedule: the parties shall attempt to reach agreement on attorney fees by June 7, 2019; absent agreement, the plaintiff shall file its fee petition by June 28, 2019, the defendants their opposition by July 29, 2019, and the plaintiff its reply by August 13, 2019. Counsel agreed to notify the court in writing promptly if agreement is reached; I told counsel that, in that event, it was likely that the case would be administratively closed, pending settlement being finalized and a stipulation of dismissal being filed.
