The parties have reached a settlement in principal but are still working through terms, and (jointly) submit that a later conference would be more productive, to allow the parties to fully align on settlement terms such that the conference can be used to discuss issues related to the standards applicable to this case under Cheeks v. Freeport Pancake House, 796 F.3d 199 (2d Cir. 2017).

2. Defendants’ counsel is short-staffed and facing a scheduling conflict.
