Nos. 114, 115, 116.) To the extent that plaintiff's letter at Dkt. No. 114 seeks reconsideration of the Order dated January 31, 2020 (Dkt. No. 113), granting defendants’ request to withdraw and refile their motion for summary judgment, plaintiffs motion is DENIED. To the extent that plaintiff's Notice of Intent to Sue at Dkt. No. 115 seeks leave to further amend her Amended Complaint (Dkt. No. 29), that motion is also DENIED. Plaintiff has not shown good cause why the wholly unrelated parties and claims described in her Notice should be added to this action, in which the deadline for amendments was June 29, 2018 (see Dkt.

Plaintiff's request for a conference made in her letter at Dkt. No. 116 is GRANTED. Judge Moses will hold a status conference on March 11, 2020, at 11:00 a.m., in Courtroom 20A.
