According to a post on Facebook:
"All parties have agreed that the temporary restraining order issued by Judge Bartlett has expired and that the Q8 will need to re-file for such restraining orders in Federal Court. The judge also ordered a settlement conference between parties. The judge also stated that this decision does not resolve the matters of contempt of Judge Bartlett's court, which will require additional consideration...The moment Jackson Lewis moved to Federal Court, Judge Bartlett was unable to issue a contempt ruling. Furthermore, that temporary restraining order issued by Superior Court does have a statutory time limit. In order for the Federal Court to assume jurisdiction, the Quartzsite 8 will be required to submit motions for restraining orders with the Federal Court, and Quartzsite's representation will respond to said motions, and the Federal Court will then decide whether to grant that restraining order...A settlement conference is a standard court practice to allow parties an option to negotiate or proceed with litigation. The Judge wants to grant the parties an opportunity to "work it out"...This is actually not as simple as the employer/employee relationship. If it were, Federal Court may not have jurisdiction. We are treading in First Amendment waters here."
