ENDORSED ORDER: Counsel are directed to meet and confer, in person or by telephone, and by January 2, 2024, file a completed uniform Case Management Report. The Court believes that six to eight months is a sufficient period of time to conduct discovery in the vast majority of cases. If the parties believe that more 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. After the Case Management Report is filed, the Court will 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 10/19/2023. (DMD)

Filing 15
ENDORSED ORDER: In the interest of transparency, the Court discloses two circumstances that the parties may consider relevant. First, due to a mutual friend, the undersigned has occasionally met the husband of Plaintiff Joena Bartolini Mitchell at social events over the years, but not at all in the past year. The undersigned has interacted on a very limited basis with the husband of the Plaintiff on a social media platform. Additionally, the undersigned's former courtroom deputy is now employed at Defendant Raymond James and Associates, Inc., as a legal secretary. The Court does not believe that recusal is necessary under these circumstances as the Court is capable of being fair and impartial to both sides. However, if either party is concerned that a conflict exists, that party should file a motion for recusal within the next 14 days so the Court may consider and rule on that motion while the case is still in its early stages. Signed by Judge Virginia M. Hernandez Covington on 10/19/2023. (DMD)

Filing 6
ENDORSED ORDER: The Court is aware of the notice entered in this case, explaining that Local Rule 3.02(a)(2) requires the filing of a uniform case management report with forty or seventy days, depending on the circumstances of the case. However, under Local Rule 1.01(b), a judge can modify or suspend for all or part of an action the application of any rule, except Rule 1.05(a). This Court finds it beneficial to enter a fast-track scheduling order in certain categories of cases before entry of a case management and scheduling order. Additionally, in cases that are not fast-tracked, this Court finds it efficient to have the parties confer and file case management reports within 14 days after the defendant's responsive pleading is due or within 14 days after a case is removed to this Court. In light of this, the Court hereby suspends Local Rule 3.02(a)(2) in this case. At a time the Court deems appropriate, the Court will enter a further order in this case setting either a deadline to file a completed uniform case management report or various fast-track deadlines for the case. Signed by Judge Virginia M. Hernandez Covington on 10/17/2023. (MEJ)
|

The CMR must be filed (1) within forty days after any defendant appears in an action originating in this court, (2) within forty days after the docketing of an action removed or transferred to this court, or (3) within seventy days after service on the United States attorney in an action against the United States, its agencies or employees. Judges may have a special CMR form for certain types of cases. These forms can be found at www.flmd.uscourts.gov under the Forms tab for each judge. (Signed by Deputy Clerk). (MEJ) |
