May 13, 2019 Acknowledgment - Transferred case has been opened in the Northern District of Florida as case 4:19-cv-00219, filed 05/13/2019. (JNB)
May 9, 2019 Opinion or Order Filing 16 ENDORSED ORDER: The parties have sent a proposed order to chambers email which the Court interprets to mean that the plaintiff is in agreement that this case should be transferred to the Northern District of Florida. Because venue does lie in that District--the accident occurred there--it is appropriate that this case be transferred. The Court denies the motion to dismiss and grants the motion to transfer venue. The Clerk is directed to transfer this case to the Northern District of Florida and thereafter close this case. Signed by Judge Virginia M. Hernandez Covington on 5/9/2019. (Covington, Virginia)
May 9, 2019 Opinion or Order Filing 15 ENDORSED ORDER: By May 14, 2019, plaintiff shall show cause why this matter should not be transferred to the Northern District of Florida. The Court notes that there is a pending motion to dismiss or to transfer venue to the Northern District, but the plaintiff has failed to respond. While the Court would be well within its rights to grant the request as unopposed, in an abundance of fairness to the plaintiff, the Court gives the plaintiff this opportunity to be heard. Signed by Judge Virginia M. Hernandez Covington on 5/9/2019. (Covington, Virginia)

April 26, 2019 Opinion or Order Filing 6 ENDORSED ORDER: Counsel are directed to meet and confer, in person or by telephone, and by May 10, 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 4/26/2019.
