| 01/29/2020 | 20 | NOTICE of Settlement (Joint) filed by Natalie Tharp (Helstowski, John) (Entered: 01/29/2020) |
| 01/30/2020 | 21 | ORDER: On the parties’ 20 Joint Notice of Settlement, the Court stays all pending pretrial deadlines and the mediation/settlement conference currently scheduled on 1/29/2020. The Court ORDERS the parties to file appropriate dismissal papers by 2/29/2020, or, if they are unable to do so, a joint status report. This case is administratively closed for statistical purposes without prejudice to being reopened to enter an order of dismissal or judgment or for further proceedings if the settlement is not consummated. (Ordered by Judge Ada Brown on 1/30/2020) (twd) (Entered: 01/30/2020) |
| 02/17/2020 | 22 | Joint STIPULATION OF DISMISSAL re 21 Order of Dismissal or Administrative Closure,, by Midland Mortgage. (Attachments: # 1 Proposed Order) (Gibson, Crystal) (Entered: 02/17/2020) |
| 03/18/2020 | 23 | Special Orders 13-5 and 13-6 re: Court Operations Under the Exigent Circumstances Created by the COVID-19 Pandemic (Ordered by Chief Judge Barbara M. G. Lynn on 3/16/2020 and 3/18/2020)(lrl) (Entered: 03/19/2020) |
| 03/19/2020 | 24 | ELECTRONIC ORDER: The undersigned orders that all civil and criminal bench and jury trials, in-person court hearings, and sentencing proceedings scheduled to take place through May 1, 2020, are continued due to concerns about COVID-19 and consistent with the Northern District of Texas’s Special Order Nos. 13-5 and 13-6, entered by Chief Judge Barbara Lynn on March 13, and March 18, 2020, respectively. In addition, if the attorneys have been ordered to conduct a face-to-face meeting for purposes of preparing a Rule 26(f) Joint Report, an in-person meeting is no longer required. These continuances do not modify any pending deadlines other than the trial or hearing dates mentioned above. Attorneys should file a motion with the Court to modify any other deadlines unless, as is the case in some cases transferred to this Court from other judges, the scheduling order allows the parties to reset deadlines by agreement without Court approval. Due to the Court’s reduced ability to obtain an adequate spectrum of jurors, and due to the reduced availability of attorneys and court staff to be present in courtrooms because of the public health considerations associated with COVID-19, the period of the continuances associated with this Order and Special Order Nos. 13-5 and 13-6 are excluded by the Speedy Trial Act, 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h) and 18 U.S.C. §3161 (h)(7)(A). The Court finds that the ends of justice served by ordering these continuances outweigh the best interests of the public and each defendants right to a speedy trial. In fact, the best interests of the public are served by these continuances. The Court encourages the parties to communicate with opposing counsel and litigants by video or telephone whenever possible. (Ordered by Judge Ada Brown on 3/19/2020) (lrl) (Entered: 03/19/2020) |
| 04/10/2020 | 25 | ORDER OF DISMISSAL: It is ORDERED that this cause is dismissed with prejudice. (Ordered by Judge Ada Brown on 4/10/2020) (mla) (Entered: 04/10/2020) |
