[TexasTowelie]

A judge has ordered the attorneys in Rick Pitino's lawsuit against the University of Louisville Athletic Association to discuss a possible settlement in the case.

Documents filed Monday show U.S. Magistrate Judge Colin H. Lindsay ordered the attorneys to meet with each other no later than Feb. 8.

After the meeting, the attorneys have 14 days to file a joint written report "informing the court whether prompt settlement of the case is possible."

The purpose of the meeting, which is routine, is to either examine the possibility of reaching a settlement or to set a tentative schedule for discovery and trial proceedings. The judge will have the authority during a March 1 teleconference to make changes to the schedule the attorneys devise.
