Good afternoon.  There is a status set for 3/6/19 re: above mentioned case that should be stricken due to clerical error.

 

On 1/29/19, Plaintiff’s motion to remand the case to Cook County Circuit Court was denied and it was transferred to the SDNY.

 

The NDIL clerk mistakenly sent out a remand letter, followed up with a notice of correction (see attached).

 

Feel free to call me with any questions.

 

Best regards,

Dear Stephen and Reeves,

 

We noticed that the Illinois state court docket still lists Weisskopf's case as pending, and there is a hearing scheduled for March 6 at 10:30 am. It seems our friends at the state court may not have received the message that the remand was a clerical error. Do we need to get in touch with them, or do you think they'll sort it out on their own?

 

Best,

Arie
