Filing 35
ENDORSED ORDER granting in part the motion to stay. (Doc. #34). This case is stayed until March 11, 2024. The Clerk is directed to stay and administratively close this case. This case is stayed so that the parties may schedule and participate in the voluntary, binding arbitration in which they've agreed to participate. However, the Court is not retaining jurisdiction over this case to enforce any arbitration award that may be issued because any petition to confirm or vacate an arbitration award should be filed as a new case. The Court is only retaining jurisdiction to return this case to active status in the event that the parties do not hold an arbitration as they have planned and must instead continue litigating the complaint in this case. By March 11, 2024, Plaintiff must file a notice informing the Court whether it may dismiss the case because the arbitration has been held or whether the case should be returned to active status because no arbitration occurred. Signed by Judge Virginia M. Hernandez Covington on 12/12/2023. (DMD)

Filing 4
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 10/20/2023. (MEJ)
|

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) |
