Date Filed Document Text
December 6, 2021 Opinion or Order Filing 22 ENDORSED ORDER: The Court is aware that the parties have requested a May 19, 2022, mediation to be held via Zoom videoconference. (Doc. #19). 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 12/6/2021. (SGM)
December 6, 2021 Opinion or Order Filing 21 ORDER appointing Stephen Brannan as mediator in this action. The mediation conference is scheduled for May 19, 2022, 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 12/6/2021. (SGM)
