ENDORSED ORDER: The Court is aware that the parties have requested a February 19, 2021, mediation to be held via videoconference. (Doc. #19). However, the Court has not yet permitted parties to mediate by videoconference at that time. Therefore, the parties must plan to mediate in person. In December 2020, the parties may request that the Court reevaluate this decision based on the circumstances. If the Court decides that it is appropriate to allow mediation by video closer to the mediation date, the Court will enter an appropriate order. Signed by Judge Virginia M. Hernandez Covington on 8/13/2020. (AR)

Filing 12
ENDORSED ORDER: On July 20, 2020, the parties filed their case management report. (Doc. #11). In the report, the parties request an extended period to conduct discovery due to anticipated delays from the COVID-19 pandemic and the Defendant's motion to dismiss, which is currently pending. (Id.). While a pending motion to dismiss is not grounds for delaying discovery, the Court will accommodate the parties' request for additional time for discovery due to the challenges presented by the pandemic. Nevertheless, the Court urges the parties to be creative and resourceful in conducting discovery, including taking depositions remotely. See SAPS, LLC v. EZCare Clinic, Inc., No. CV 19-11229, 2020 WL 1923146, at *2 (E.D. La. Apr. 21, 2020)(authorizing use of video depositions and acknowledging that it is not "feasible to delay the depositions until some unknown time in the future"). Signed by Judge Virginia M. Hernandez Covington on 7/24/2020. (MWS)

ENDORSED ORDER: Counsel are directed to meet and confer, in person or by telephone, and by July 21, 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 7/7/2020. (MWS)
