Date Filed Document Text
January 5, 2024 Opinion or Order Filing 31 ORDER appointing John Jackson as mediator in this action. Mediation Conference set for 5/6/2024 at 09:00 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 1/5/2024. (DMD)
January 4, 2024 Filing 30 NOTICE of mediation conference/hearing to be held on May 6, 2024 at 9:00 a.m. before John Jackson. (Lambert, Matthew)
January 3, 2024 Opinion or Order Filing 29 ENDORSED ORDER: Pursuant to the Case Management and Scheduling Order (Doc. #20), the parties were to confer and file a notice of mediation informing the Court of the mediation date they had selected by January 2, 2024. Yet, Plaintiff has merely filed a notice informing the Court that "the parties have been unable to select a date for a mediation of this matter." (Doc. #28). This is unacceptable. The Court expects all parties and counsel to confer in good faith to select a mediation date, as required by this Court. The notice of mediation is now due January 9, 2024. Failure to file by that date a proper notice of mediation, informing the Court of the date, time, and location of the mediation conference, may result in the imposition of sanctions. Signed by Judge Virginia M. Hernandez Covington on 1/3/2024. (DMD)
January 2, 2024 Filing 28 NOTICE of mediation conference/hearing to be held on before John Jackson. (Lambert, Matthew)
January 2, 2024 Opinion or Order Filing 27 ENDORSED ORDER denying Defendants' opposed motion to bifurcate discovery and motion practice. (Doc. #24). The Court does not find it appropriate or efficient to bifurcate discovery in this case. Additionally, this Court does not allow the filing of more than one motion for summary judgment, as Defendants seek to do. Signed by Judge Virginia M. Hernandez Covington on 1/2/2024. (DMD)

December 11, 2023 Opinion or Order Filing 21 ENDORSED ORDER: In light of the Court's Case Management and Scheduling Order Doc. #20, no case management hearing will be held. Additionally, in order to keep cases moving on track, the Court has found it necessary to impose some restrictions on the types and number of extensions to case management deadlines that it grants. 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. Signed by Judge Virginia M. Hernandez Covington on 12/11/2023. (MEJ)

November 30, 2023 Opinion or Order Filing 18 ENDORSED ORDER: In the Case Management Report, Sanofi "suggests a discussion about how to manage the large influx of cases in the most efficient way" and raises the possibility of consolidation of the remanded MDL cases. (Doc. #15). The Court is disinclined to consolidate these cases for any purpose because it appears the remaining determinations are plaintiff-specific. Because the Court will not consolidate this case, no case management hearing is required before entry of a Case Management and Scheduling Order. If, however, the parties feel that a hearing on the structuring of discovery in this particular case would assist them, they may request a hearing with Magistrate Judge Anthony E. Porcelli. Signed by Judge Virginia M. Hernandez Covington on 11/30/2023. (DMD)
