August 6, 2021 Opinion or Order Filing 10 ENDORSED ORDER striking Designs & Permit Drawing, Ltd Co.'s motion to dismiss (Doc. #8) from the record. See Local Rule 2.02(b)(2). Signed by Judge Virginia M. Hernandez Covington on 8/6/2021. (LEA)
August 6, 2021 Opinion or Order Filing 9 ENDORSED ORDER: Under Middle District of Florida Local Rule 2.02(b)(2), "[a] party, other than a natural person, can appear through the lawyer only." Defendant Designs & Permit Drawing, Ltd Co. is a Florida corporation, therefore it may not be represented pro se by President David R. Young, who by his own admission is not an attorney. (Doc. #8 at 1). Accordingly, Designs & Permit Drawing is directed to retain counsel within thirty days, or by September 7, 2021. The responsive pleading to the complaint shall be due one week later, September 14, 2021. All deadlines in the Court's scheduling order (Doc. #7) are extended thirty days. The exchange of records (wages claimed, payroll, etc.) is due September 19, 2021. Plaintiff's answers to the Court's interrogatories are due October 6, 2021. The mediation deadline is November 3, 2021. Notice of mediation is due by September 20, 2021. The Court understands that the Defendant believes it has a meritorious claim given the prior Department of Labor investigation. The Court expects that Plaintiff's counsel, as an officer of the Court, has filed the complaint in good faith, and the allegations that "Defendant is a multi[-]million-dollar operation" within the purview of the Fair Labor Standards Act were reasonably based on belief. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 11(b). If that is no longer a good faith belief, then the Court expects Plaintiff to proceed accordingly. Signed by Judge Virginia M. Hernandez Covington on 8/6/2021. (LEA)

July 22, 2021 Opinion or Order Filing 7 SCHEDULING ORDER: The parties are directed to adhere to the Court's Scheduling Order. This action is hereby referred to Mark A. Hanley, Esq., for mediation. The parties must mediate no later than October 4, 2021. Lead Counsel shall file a notice of mediation informing the Court as to the date, time, and location of mediation by August 19, 2021. Neither party may reschedule or cancel the mediation conference once it is set; leave of Court must be obtained before the mediation conference may be rescheduled or cancelled. The parties shall not mediate until the information exchange outlined in the Scheduling Order is completed. Absent compelling circumstances and leave of Court, lead counsel must appear at the mediation conference. Lead Counsel shall file a notice informing the Court as to the results of mediation within 24 hours of the mediation conference. In the event mediation results in an impasse, the parties must file their jointly-prepared fast-track case management report within 24 hours of the mediation conference. Upon review of the jointly-prepared case management report, the Court will determine whether a case management hearing is necessary. If a case management hearing is necessitated, the Court will set the hearing by separate notice. Furthermore, if mediation results in an impasse, the Court intends to schedule this action for trial within 90-120 days from the mediation conference. Signed by Judge Virginia M. Hernandez Covington on 7/22/2021. (TWL) (TWL).
