April 3, 2019 Opinion or Order Filing 16 ENDORSED ORDER granting in part and denying in part Defendants' unopposed motion for extension of time to respond to the Complaint. (Doc. #15 ). As a preliminary matter, the Court notes that Edge Partners is not permitted to proceed pro se in this Court. See Local Rule 2.03(e)("A corporation may appear and be heard only through counsel admitted to practice in the Court pursuant to Rule 2.01 or Rule 2.02."). Nevertheless, the Court is mindful that the parties are conducting settlement discussions. Therefore, to give the parties more time to negotiate outside of Court, the Court will stay this action until May 3, 2019. On that date, if Plaintiffs have not filed a notice of settlement or notice of voluntary dismissal of the case, the Court will reopen the action. Likewise, Defendants' answer to the Complaint will be due on May 3, 2019, and Edge Partners must be represented by counsel. Any future pro se filings by Edge Partners will be stricken. The Clerk is directed to stay and administratively close this case until May 3, 2019. Signed by Judge Virginia M. Hernandez Covington on 4/3/2019. (DMD)

March 12, 2019 Opinion or Order Filing 8 ENDORSED ORDER: Counsel are directed to meet and confer, in person or by telephone, and by April 8, 2019, file a completed Case Management Report. This document can be found on Judge Covington's page of the Court's website at www.flmd.uscourts.gov. Please be advised that the Court's Case Management Report form is different from those used by other judges. Local Rule 3.05(c)(2)(E), M.D. Fla., explains that most track two cases, like the present case, "will be tried within one year after the filing of the complaint." To accomplish this goal, the Court believes that six to eight months is a sufficient period of time to conduct discovery. If the parties believe that more time than eight months will be needed to complete discovery, the parties should provide the Court with a detailed explanation as to why additional time is needed and a timeline for the discovery that is planned. The Court will then determine whether a Case Management Hearing is necessary before entry of a Case Management and Scheduling Order. Signed by Judge Virginia M. Hernandez Covington on 3/12/2019.
