April 26, 2024 Filing 20 REPORT of Rule 26(f) Planning Meeting by Mitchell Gaar. (Kennedy, Simon)
April 16, 2024 Opinion or Order Filing 19 ORDER: The Court has reviewed Plaintiff's pending motion for remand and the subsequent briefing. The Court finds Plaintiff's argument that he does not know the extent of his injuries because Defendants have not conducted an investigation to be entirely unreasonable. Plaintiff has an obligation to investigate his own claims; he has personal knowledge of his injuries and medical treatment; he has access to his own medical records. The Court also finds Plaintiff's repeated failures to respond to Defendants' multiple inquiries before removal to be entirely unreasonable. Such stonewalling shall stop. Plaintiff's counsel will respond to Defendants' communications in the future. The Court has set a case management conference for May 1, 2024. Plaintiff shall, at least five days before that conference, provide Defendants with Plaintiff's current best estimate of his damages in this case. The parties shall be prepared to address the motion to remand at the conference, in addition to matters addressed in their Rule 26(f) report. Ordered by Senior Judge David G Campbell on 4/16/24.
