Filing 7
ENDORSED ORDER: Counsel are directed to meet and confer, in person or by telephone, and by May 14, 2020, 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 5/1/2020. (DMD)

Filing 6
ENDORSED ORDER: In its Notice of Removal, Defendant Republic Refrigeration Incorporated represents that "Plaintiff's outstanding medical expenses [of] $60,938.30" should be combined with the "lien in the amount of $47,944.65, for workers' compensation benefits provided to Plaintiff" to establish that the amount in controversy is approximately $108,882. (Doc. #1). However, the lien document states that "The benefits provided under Fla. Stat. Chapt. 440 and paid for by Sedgwick Claims Management Services/Cintas Corporation that give rise to this lien were medical and indemnity benefits." (Doc. # 1-2). Thus, it's not clear to the Court whether the medical costs included in the lien amount are some of the same ones included in Plaintiff's medical expenses amount. Accordingly, Republic is directed to clarify for the Court by May 7, 2020, whether any of the expenses included in the lien figure are also included in the figure for Plaintiff's medical expenses. Signed by Judge Virginia M. Hernandez Covington on 5/1/2020. (DMD)
