June 13, 2022 Opinion or Order Filing 147 PAPERLESS ORDER granting CNN's #145 Motion for Brief Extension of Time to Serve Expert Witness Disclosures. The Motion was filed on the date expert witness disclosure was due. "A motion for extension of time is not self-executing; no motion is, unless expressly provided for by the applicable rule. Yet, by filing these motions on or near the last day, and then sitting idle pending the Court's disposition of the motion, parties essentially grant their own motion. The Court will not condone this." Compere v. Nusret Miami, LLC, 2020 WL 2844888, at *2 (S.D. Fla. May 7, 2020) (internal citations omitted). Nevertheless, the Court will grant the relief requested. Although Plaintiff's counsel does not agree to the brief extension, Plaintiff will not be prejudiced by extending expert disclosures by one additional week. Further, the Court finds that the extension should be granted due to (1) outstanding discovery issues; (2) the recent recusal by the magistrate judge; and (3) defense counsel's family emergency. Expert witness disclosure shall be made by 6/21/2022. Signed by Judge Raag Singhal on 6/13/2022. (pb00)
June 13, 2022 Opinion or Order Filing 146 ORDER OF RECUSAL. Magistrate Judge Alicia O. Valle recused. Case reassigned to Magistrate Judge Patrick M. Hunt for all further proceedings. Signed by Magistrate Judge Alicia O. Valle on 6/13/2022. See attached document for full details. (bms)

June 10, 2022 Opinion or Order Filing 143 ORDER GRANTING IN PART #123 Plaintiff's Motion to Clarify the Court's Ruling Pertaining to Plaintiff's Motion to Compel Regarding First Set of Interrogatories, Item #4; and DENYING #139 Plaintiff's Motion to Strike CNN's Opposition to the Motion. Signed by Magistrate Judge Alicia O. Valle on 6/10/2022. See attached document for full details. (sd01)
June 10, 2022 Opinion or Order Filing 142 PAPERLESS ORDER GRANTING IN PART #118 Plaintiff's Motion to Add "Attorney Eyes Only" Designation to Umbrella Protective Order (the "Motion"). Initially, Plaintiff's proposal for an attorneys' eyes only ("AEO") designation for his tax returns is properly brought before the Court pursuant to paragraph 23 of #48 the Protective Order governing this case. Nevertheless, in the context of this highly contested litigation, Plaintiff's request for an AEO designation that limits access to his tax returns solely to licensed attorneys is too narrow. Although some additional protection may be appropriate, CNN must be able to reasonably share the documents that Plaintiff produces (including his tax returns) with individuals when necessary to effectively litigate the case, which may include, for example, the Court and its staff, experts, and counsel's vendors, assistants, and/or clerical personnel. With this guidance, the parties should be able to resolve the dispute without further Court intervention. Accordingly, within 7 days from the date of this Order, the parties must telephonically meet and confer in a good faith effort to prepare a proposed amended Protective Order for the Court's consideration that includes an AEO designation, resembling the examples described in the briefs on the Motion. Further, unless otherwise agreed to by the parties, they must file the joint proposed amended Protective Order within 10 days from the date of this Order. Signed by Magistrate Judge Alicia O. Valle on 6/10/2022. (sd01)

November 22, 2021 Opinion or Order Filing 50 PAPERLESS ORDER GRANTING #49 the Joint Motion to Set A Briefing Scheduling of the Parties Anticipated Motions to Compel (the "Motion"). Accordingly, it is hereby ORDERED that:1. All Motions to Compel related to Plaintiff's First Set of Interrogatories, Plaintiff's First Set of Requests for Production, Defendant's First Set of Interrogatories, Defendant's First Set of Requests for Production, and Defendant's Second Set of Requests for Production ("Motions to Compel") must be filed by December 3, 2021;2. All responses to such Motions to Compel must be filed by December 15, 2021; and 3. The parties may file reply memoranda to the Motions to Compel by December 22, 2021. The parties must also file a Joint Status Report ("JSR") (discussed below) by December 29, 2021. In advance of the JSR, the parties must telephonically meet and confer in a good faith effort to resolve the issues in the Motions to Compel.4. The JSR must set forth the following information for the unresolved issues: (i) the discovery request; (ii) the discovery response; (iii) a brief summary of each party's position, with one issue per page; and (iv) the result of the parties meet and confer. The parties may group the discovery requests by issue, as appropriate. This information must be presented in chart form as set forth in Exhibit 1. The JSR is not intended to be a verbatim recitation of the parties' briefs. Rather, it is meant to summarize the issues in a comparative format (i.e., one column for movant and one column for opponent) to assist the Court in evaluating the disputed issues. Moreover, if necessary, the disputed discovery requests can be grouped by topic/issue to facilitate analysis. Upon review of the JSR, the Court will determine whether to schedule a hearing on the Motions to Compel. An example of a JSR can be found at Wound Care Concepts, Inc. v. Vora Health Servs., P.A., No. 19-CV-62078-RS (ECF No. 84) (S.D. Fla. July 30, 2020). 5. Lastly, unless otherwise provided in this Order, the parties must follow the undersigned's Discovery Procedures available on the Court's website: https://www.flsd.uscourts.gov/content/judge-alicia-o-valle. Signed by Magistrate Judge Alicia O. Valle on 11/22/2021. See attached document for full details. (sd01)

Accordingly, the Court will enter the Confidentiality Order separately, limiting potential sanctions to those available pursuant to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, including Rule 37. Signed by Magistrate Judge Alicia O. Valle on 11/17/2021. (sd01)
