ANNUAL REMINDER: Pursuant to Local Rule 3.2 (Notification of Affiliates), any nongovernmental party, other than an individual or sole proprietorship, must file a statement identifying all its affiliates known to the party after diligent review or, if the party has identified no affiliates, then a statement reflecting that fact must be filed.

MOTION by Defendant Wen Bo for extension Presented before Magistrate Judge (Received via pro se online portal on 6/3/2025)

MINUTE entry before the Honorable Keri L. Holleb Hotaling: The Court is in receipt of the parties' Rule 26(f) planning report [Dkt. 110] and understands that not all Defendants were able to be contacted concerning the report. Nonetheless, the Court sets the following deadlines relative to this case, and they shall apply to all parties: any amendment to the pleadings shall occur by 11/28/2025; completion of fact discovery by 12/30/2025. The Court does not expect to extend this firm fact discovery deadline and in no case will do so without written motion detailing exceptionally good cause. It is not the Court's practice to subdivide discovery; the Court trusts the parties to manage their discovery obligations accordingly to meet their fact discovery deadline. The Court will not set an expert discovery schedule until it is clear the fact discovery deadline will be met. The parties are reminded to promptly bring any discovery motions before the Court, including motions to enforce subpoenas or motions for protective orders. The parties report they have engaged in settlement discussions but remain far apart; they are not interested in a settlement conference at this time. The parties are to file an updated joint status report on 8/6/2025 reporting on discovery and indicating whether the parties (collectively or individually) are interested in a settlement conference at that juncture. The parties should keep in mind that Judge Holleb Hotaling's schedule typically is booked 2-3 months out from present with regards to settlement conferences, so the parties should notify Judge Holleb Hotaling's chambers as soon as possible once they realize they want a settlement conference; they do not need to wait for the next status report date.

MINUTE entry before the Honorable Jorge L. Alonso: Telephonic motion hearing set for 6/5/25 at 9:30 a.m. Members of the public and media will be able to call in to listen to this hearing. The call-in number is 888-808-6929 and the access code is 4911854. Counsel of record will receive an email 30 minutes prior to the start of the telephonic hearing with instructions to join the call. Persons granted remote access to proceedings are reminded of the general prohibition against photographing, recording, and rebroadcasting of court proceedings. Violation of these prohibitions may result in sanctions, including removal of court issued media credentials, restricted entry to future hearings, denial of entry to future hearings, or any other sanctions deemed necessary by the Court.

STATUS Report Joint Status Report by Bestway Inflatables & Material Corp. Presented before Magistrate Judge

MINUTE entry before the Honorable Keri L. Holleb Hotaling: The Court is in receipt of the parties' joint status report [Dkt. 123]. The parties report that no discovery has been issued to date, despite no stay of discovery being in place. The firm fact discovery deadline of 12/30/2025 remains set. The Court expects discovery to occur concurrently with any settlement discussions. The parties also report they are interested in a settlement conference. The parties should keep in mind that Judge Holleb Hotaling's schedule typically is booked 2-3 months out from present with regards to settlement conferences. Judge Holleb Hotaling sets an off-the-record pre-settlement conference telephone call for 8/25/2025 at 9:15 a.m. The parties should ensure they call in ONLY at their designated time and not earlier to ensure the pre-settlement call remains private (but not on the record). The counsel that appears for this pre-settlement telephone discussion must be counsel who will represent their respective clients at the conference, or are able to discuss the issues of the case and to schedule the conference on behalf of their clients. The Court expects counsel to discuss issues in the case that may affect the settlement process. Counsel should review Judge Holleb Hotaling's Standing Order on Settlement Conferences prior to the call. The call in information is 855-244-8681, and the participant access code is 2315 0911 461#.
