Date Filed Document Text
September 7, 2021 Opinion or Order Filing 14 ENDORSED ORDER: The parties have chosen a mediation date of September 27, 2021. (Doc. #12). However, according to the Court's scheduling order, the Defendant's answers to the Court's Interrogatories are not due until October 25, 2021. (Doc. #8 at 4-5). The parties are reminded that, under the scheduling order, "the parties are not permitted to mediate until the information exchange outlined in this Order, including answers to interrogatories, has been completed." (Id. at 5). Accordingly, the Defendant's answers to the Court's Interrogatories are hereby due on September 21, 2021. Signed by Judge Virginia M. Hernandez Covington on 9/7/2021. (SGM)
August 18, 2021 Opinion or Order Filing 13 ENDORSED ORDER: The Court is aware that the parties have requested a September 27, 2021, mediation to be held via Zoom videoconference. (Doc. #11). Given the availability of vaccinations, in-person mediations can be safely conducted with proper precautions in place, such as social distancing and the wearing of masks. The Court firmly believes that in-person mediations are more productive than video mediations, and finds in-person mediation appropriate absent truly exigent circumstances, such as serious health concerns. Thus, the request to mediate remotely is denied at this time. If the parties have such health concerns or issues, they may file supporting documentation in camera in a motion closer to the mediation date. If the Court then permits the mediation to be conducted remotely due to such health issues, the Court will reserve the right to order another round of in person mediation if the mediation is not successful. Signed by Judge Virginia M. Hernandez Covington on 8/18/2021. (SGM)
August 18, 2021 Opinion or Order Filing 12 ORDER appointing Gregory Holder as mediator in this action. The mediation conference is scheduled for September 27, 2021, at 9:00 AM. The Court directs that all counsel, parties, corporate representatives, and any other required claims professionals shall be present at the mediation conference with full authority to negotiate a settlement. The Court does not allow mediation by telephone or video conference. Personal attendance is required. Signed by Judge Virginia M. Hernandez Covington on 8/18/2021. (SGM)

July 20, 2021 Opinion or Order Filing 8 SCHEDULING ORDER: The parties are directed to adhere to the Court's Scheduling Order. This action is hereby referred to Gregory P. Holder, Esq., for mediation. The parties must mediate no later than November 2, 2021. Lead Counsel shall file a notice of mediation informing the Court as to the date, time, and location of mediation by August 18, 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.
