   MINUTE entry before the Honorable John Robert Blakey: This case has been assigned to the calendar of the Honorable John Robert Blakey. During the course of the litigation, the attorneys must appear at all hearing dates set by the Court or noticed by the parties. If an attorney has a conflict with a set court date, the attorney must notify Judge Blakey's Courtroom Deputy, Emily Wirtz (emily_wirtz@ilnd.uscourts.gov). If appropriate, the Court will then reset the matter. Advising opposing counsel of a scheduling conflict is not a substitute for communicating directly with the Court. The litigants are ordered to review and fully comply with all of this Court's own standing orders, which are available on Judge Blakey's information page on the Court's official website: http://www.ilnd.uscourts.gov/. The parties (or Plaintiffs individually if Defendant still is not at issue) shall file a status report by 6/16/2026, using the model template set forth in this Court's standing order regarding Initial (or Reassignment) Status Conferences. Mailed notice. (evw, ) (Entered: 04/17/2026)
