August 16, 2023 Opinion or Order Filing 13 PAPERLESS ORDER SETTING SETTLEMENT CONFERENCE. The in-person Settlement Conference in this matter is scheduled for 10:00 A.M. on Tuesday, September 12, 2023, before the undersigned in Courtroom 1006, 99 N.E. 4th Street, Miami, Florida, 33132. Parties should note that: (1) The Conference shall be conducted without a court reporter and will not be tape recorded. All representations made at the Conference shall remain confidential. However, if a settlement is reached, the Court may require the parties to state the material terms of the agreement on the Court record. (2) The parties are not required to submit any statements/documentation in preparation for the Conference. However, counsel for Plaintiff(s) should be prepared to provide the Court with billing and/or time records to support an award of fees, should the parties decide to reach an agreement on attorneys' fees as part of the settlement. (3) Each counsel is required to meet (either in person or by phone) with their client(s) regarding settlement at least five days prior to the Settlement Conference. (4) Counsel must confer with each other (either in person or by phone) to discuss their respective settlement positions, and to exchange settlement offers before the date of the Settlement Conference set above. (5) The Court does not provide an interpreter for parties who do not speak English. If a party requires an interpreter, it shall be that party's burden to provide one. (6) Although counsel of record may bring laptop computers or cellular phones into the Federal Courthouse, absent an Order of the Court, the parties are not allowed to do so. (7) Counsel shall remind their clients that they must bring proper identification (for example, a driver's license). Signed by Magistrate Judge Jacqueline Becerra on 8/16/2023. (nsy)
August 7, 2023 Opinion or Order Filing 12 PAPERLESS ORDER REGARDING PROCEDURES TO SET SETTLEMENT CONFERENCE. To set the Settlement Conference mandated by the District Court, ECF No. #9 , counsel for Plaintiff shall send an e-mail to chambers_becerra@flsd.uscourts.gov, within seven days of all counsel filing their Notice of Appearances, or within seven days of this order if all counsel have already filed appearances. The e-mail shall list at least three different dates and times where all counsel and parties are available for the Settlement Conference. These dates must all be within 20 days of that date of the e-mail to chambers. The Court prefers to set settlement conferences on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 9:00 a.m., 12:00 p.m., or 3:00 p.m. If counsel and the parties are not available on those dates and times, they are permitted to propose other dates and times, but all proposed dates must be within the deadline set above. Plaintiff's counsel shall copy all counsel on the e-mail to chambers. Failure to submit proposed dates by the deadline will result in the Court setting the conference unilaterally. The Settlement Conference will not be continued absent compelling circumstances (i.e., counsel has a conflict with another court hearing). The Settlement Conference will be conducted in-person. In providing dates for the Settlement Conference, counsel should note that: (1) The Settlement Conference must be attended, except as provided under Local Rule 16.2(e) for public-sector entities, by counsel of record and each party. (2) In the event that a monetary settlement would be payable from proceeds of an insurance policy, a claims professional/representative(s) from the party's insurer, with full and final authority to authorize payment to settle the matter up to the full limits of the party's policy shall be present. The failure of a party representative with full and final authority to make and accept offers of settlement to attend this Conference may result in the undersigned's sua sponte recommendation to the District Judge that sanctions be entered against the offending party. Signed by Magistrate Judge Jacqueline Becerra on 8/7/2023. (nsy)
