The parties are hereby ordered to appear telephonically before the Court on February 22, 2023 at 3:00 p.m. for a conference to address two questions concerning the Settlement Agreement: first, why the release of claims in article 3 of the Agreement is drafted to encompass “any other claim . . . that could have been brought[] relating to or arising from [Plaintiff’s] work performed for Defendants,” even were that claim not for underpayment of wages, see id. at 10, and second, why the parties have executed a confession of judgment, particularly given that the amount confessed exceeds the amount owed to Plaintiff under the terms of the Settlement Agreement, compare id. at 14-15 with id. at 8. At the appointed time, counsel for all parties should call (866) 434-5269, access code 9176261. Alternatively, the parties may submit for approval a revised Settlement Agreement that does not raise the questions set forth in this Order. Any such revised Agreement should further correct the discrepancies, currently present in article 1 of the Settlement Agreement, between the verbal descriptions of the amounts Defendant shall pay and the numerical values that immediately follow those descriptions in parentheses.
