ORDER granting in part 63 . The parties shall file their settlement documents today, 9/28/2023, as previously ordered. Plaintiff shall file its de-designation motion by 10/16/2023; opposition 10/30/2023; reply 11/6/2023. Ordered by Judge Brian M. Cogan on 9/28/2023. (PW)

Judge Brian M. Cogan issued an order on September 28, 2023, granting in part a prior motion labeled 63. The order requires the parties to submit their settlement documents on the same day, adhering to an earlier directive.

The plaintiff must file a motion to de-designate certain materials by October 16, 2023. Opposing parties have until October 30, 2023, to respond, with the plaintiff allowed a reply by November 6, 2023. This schedule sets a clear timeline for resolving disputes over document confidentiality or classification.

The case remains active, but the court has not publicly disclosed the docket number or the court where it is pending. The next procedural steps focus on the de-designation motion, which could affect what information remains under protective order or becomes public.

The settlement documents filing suggests the parties are moving toward resolving some issues outside of trial, but the court’s involvement in the de-designation process indicates ongoing disputes over sensitive materials.

Watch for the plaintiff’s de-designation motion and the subsequent opposition filings, which will clarify the scope of protected information and potentially influence discovery and trial preparation.
