December 8, 2023 Opinion or Order Filing 8 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 12/8/2023. (MEJ)
December 8, 2023 Opinion or Order Filing 7 NOTICE of Local Rule 3.02(a)(2), which requires the parties in every civil proceeding, except those described in subsection (d), to file a case management report (CMR) using the uniform form at www.flmd.uscourts.gov. 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)
December 7, 2023 Opinion or Order Filing 6 ENDORSED ORDER: The Motion for Leave to File Under Seal and/or Redacted Documents for Good Cause (Doc. #2) is granted. Plaintiff Wang is permitted to file the documents specified in the motion under seal to permit Wang to move for a temporary asset restraint. Additionally, while Wang states that he "has moved for a temporary asset restraint" (Doc. #2 at 2), the Court has not yet received this motion. If Wang seeks a temporary restraining order, he is directed to file a motion. The documents specified in the motion will only remain under seal until the Court has ruled on the request for a temporary restraining order. Additionally, the Court advises that a motion for a temporary restraining order should be filed separately from a motion for preliminary injunction, as they seek different forms of injunctive relief and should not be combined in one motion.
