Date Filed Document Text
February 15, 2022 Opinion or Order Filing 22 ENDORSED ORDER appointing Harold Dale Oehler, Esq. as mediator in this action. The mediation conference is scheduled for July 14, 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 2/15/2022. (CTL)
February 15, 2022 Filing 21 AMENDED NOTICE of mediation conference/hearing to be held on July 14, 2022 at 9:00 AM before Harold Oehler, Esq. (Murphy, Heath)
February 14, 2022 Opinion or Order Filing 20 ENDORSED ORDER: The parties have filed a Notice of Mediation (Doc. #19), which shows that the July 14, 2022, mediation conference will be conducted remotely. The Court advised the parties through its Case Management and Scheduling Order that personal attendance is required. (Doc. #16 at 10). 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. If the parties have such health concerns or issues, they may file such documentation in camera by separate motion. If the Court 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. Accordingly, Plaintiff is directed to file an amended notice of mediation, indicating the date, time, and location of the in-person mediation conference, by February 15, 2022. Signed by Judge Virginia M. Hernandez Covington on 2/14/2022. (CTL)

Thus, the parties are advised that, while short extensions, especially if unopposed, will be favorably considered, the Court will not substantially move the dispositive motions deadline or the trial date.
