February 22, 2023 Opinion or Order Filing 25 PAPERLESS ORDER. THIS CAUSE came before the Court upon the Parties' Joint Motion for Relief to Conduct Mediation Remotely in Light of Plaintiff's Severe Physical Limitations. #24 . Therein, the Parties' request permission to conduct their mediation remotely, as Plaintiff is an eighty-seven year old suffering from a defective hip implant (which constitutes the basis for the action against Defendant). Id. at 1. Both Parties aver that Plaintiff's hip condition has not improved since the initial surgery, and while possible to "engineer a set-up to travel to and sit at an in-person mediation, it would be extremely difficult and uncomfortable for her to sit in an office... without her specialized chair." Id. at 3. UPON CONSIDERATION of the Motion, the pertinent portions of the record, and being otherwise fully advised in the premises, it is hereby ORDERED AND ADJUDGED that the Motion #24 is GRANTED. The Parties shall file a renewed Notice of Mediation consistent with this Order on or before Friday, February 24, 2023. Signed by Judge K. Michael Moore on 2/22/2023. (fpi)

February 15, 2023 Opinion or Order Filing 23 PAPERLESS ORDER. THIS CAUSE came before the Court upon the Parties' Notice of Mediation. #22 . Therein, the Parties' mediator states that the Parties intend to conduct their mediation remotely. See id. When the Court referred this matter to supplemental mediation, it ordered that "[t]he physical presence of counsel and each party or representatives of each party with full authority to enter in a full and complete compromise and settlement is mandatory." (ECF No. 12). Accordingly, UPON CONSIDERATION of the Notice, the pertinent portions of the record, and being otherwise fully advised in the premises, it is hereby ORDERED AND ADJUDGED that the Notice of Mediation #22 is STRICKEN. The Parties shall file a renewed Notice of Mediation in compliance with the Court's Paperless Order of Referral to Mediation within seven (7) days of the entry of this Order. The Parties are reminded that "[t]he Court may impose sanctions against parties and/or counsel who do not comply with the attendance or settlement authority requirements" or otherwise violate the Court's Paperless Order of Referral to Mediation. (ECF No. 12). Signed by Judge K. Michael Moore on 2/15/2023. (fpi)

February 6, 2023 Opinion or Order Filing 21 PAPERLESS ORDER. THIS CAUSE came before the Parties' Joint Motion for Brief Continuance and to Extend Certain Case Deadlines #20 . ("Mot."). Therein, the Parties request an approximately two-month continuance of all trial deadlines for a litany of reasons, including (a) their lack of diligence in adhering to the Court's discovery schedule as it stands; (b) the influence of yet-to-be-ascertained information on yet-to-be-held depositions; (c) the complexity of the case; (d) Plaintiff's scheduling for an additional surgery; and (e) Defense counsel's trial conflict with another case which has been pending since 2013. See generally Mot. "District courts have 'unquestionable' authority to control their own dockets." Smith v. Psychiatric Sol., Inc., 750 F.3d 1253, 1262 (11th Cir. 2014) (internal citation omitted). "This authority includes 'broad discretion in deciding how best to manage the cases before them.'" Id. (internal citation omitted). Once a scheduling order is entered, it "may be modified only for good cause and with the judge's consent." Fed. R. Civ. P. 16(b)(4). "To establish good cause, the party seeking the extension must establish that the schedule could not be met despite the party's diligence." Ashmore v. Sec'y, Dep't of Transp., 503 F. App'x 683, 685 (11th Cir. 2013); see also Sosa v. Airprint Sys., Inc., 133 F.3d 1417, 1419 (11th Cir. 1998). Id. Here, while the Court finds good cause for a brief continuance based on Plaintiff's surgery and the culmination of Defense counsel's approximately ten-year litigation, it cannot help but question whether a continuance is merited for the Parties' other justifications. While the Parties have known of their impending discovery deadlines for over half a year, see (ECF No. 12), they effectively aver that they have just begun with the scheduling and taking of depositions in spite of their discovery deadline in March. See generally Mot. See id. at 2, 3. The Court will not condone such a lack of diligence again and will grant no further continuances on similar bases. UPON CONSIDERATION of the Motion, the pertinent portions of the record, and being otherwise fully advised in the premises, it is hereby ORDERED AND ADJUDGED that the Motion #20 is GRANTED. This trial in this case is continued until the two-week trial period commencing August 28, 2023 before U.S. District Judge K. Michael Moore, United States District Courthouse, 101 South U.S. Highway 1, Ft. Pierce, Florida. COUNSEL shall now report to their final pretrial conference on August 15, 2023 at 11:00 a.m. and the calendar call on August 24, 2023 at 2:00 p.m., both before the Honorable K. Michael Moore, U.S. District Judge, at the United States Courthouse, Courtroom 13-1, 400 North Miami Avenue, Miami, Florida. All discovery deadlines established by this Court's prior Paperless Order Scheduling Trial in Fort Pierce (ECF No. 11) are commensurately extended in accordance with the new trial date set above. No further continuances shall be granted without a showing of good cause as explained in this Order. Signed by Judge K. Michael Moore on 2/6/2023. (fpi)

October 31, 2022 Opinion or Order Filing 15 PAPERLESS ORDER granting #14 Unopposed Motion for Extension of Time to File Motion to Compel ("Motion"). The Court notes that paragraph 7 of the Motion states that "Plaintiff's counsel has conferred with defense counsel who does not oppose the extension of time." The Court appreciates the good faith conferral of counsel as to this Motion; however, for future purposes, all counsel are reminded that Local Rule 7.1 (a)(3) requires a certificate of conferral "[a]t the end of the motion, and above the signature block[.]" As to the extension, it will not affect the trial date or any other deadlines set forth in the Pretrial Scheduling Order 11 . Therefore the extension is granted. Plaintiff shall have until November 18, 2022, to file a discovery motion to compel if necessary. Going forward, the parties may, by agreement, modify interim deadlines such as this without need of court approval, so long as the agreed modification does not impact the discovery cutoff date, or any litigation deadlines thereafter. Signed by Magistrate Judge Ryon M. McCabe on 10/31/2022. (mw00)

August 1, 2022 Opinion or Order Filing 4 PAPERLESS PRETRIAL ORDER. THIS ORDER has been entered upon the filing of a Notice of Removal. Counsel for the removing party is hereby ORDERED to forward a copy of this Order to all other parties. It is further ORDERED that S.D. Fla. L.R. 16.1 shall apply to this case and the parties shall hold a scheduling conference within twenty (20) days of the date of this Order. Within ten (10) days of the scheduling conference, counsel shall file a Joint Scheduling Report. The report shall indicate the proposed month and year for the trial and the estimated number of days required for trial. The scheduling conference may be held via telephone. At the conference, the parties shall comply with the following agenda that the Court adopts from S.D. Fla. L.R. 16.1: (1) Documents (S.D. Fla. L.R. 16.1.B.1 and 2) The parties shall determine the procedure for exchanging a copy of, or a description by category and location of, all documents and other evidence that is reasonably available and that a party expects to offer, or may offer, if the need arises. Fed. R. Civ. P. 26(a)(1)(B). (A) Documents include computations of the nature and extent of any category of damages claimed by the disclosing party unless the computations are privileged or otherwise protected from disclosure. Fed. R. Civ. P. 26(a)(1)(C). (B) Documents include insurance agreements which may be at issue with the satisfaction of the judgment. Fed. R. Civ. P. 26(a)(1)(D). (2) List of Witnesses - The parties shall exchange the name, address, and telephone number of each individual known to have knowledge of the facts supporting the material allegations of the pleading filed by the party. Fed. R. Civ. P. 26(a)(1)(A). The parties have a continuing obligation to disclose this information. (3) Discussions and Deadlines (S.D. Fla. L.R. 16.1.B.2) - The parties shall discuss the nature and basis of their claims and defenses and the possibility of a prompt settlement or resolution of the case. Failure to comply with this Order or to exchange the information listed above may result in sanctions and/or the exclusion of documents or witnesses at the time of trial. S.D. Fla. L.R. 16.1.I. Failure of counsel to file a joint scheduling report may result in remand or dismissal, default, and the imposition of other sanctions including attorney's fees and costs. The filing of a motion to dismiss, or other motion, does not toll the time for filing a joint scheduling report. Counsel for the non-removing party must file a motion to remand the case on the basis of any defect other than lack of subject matter jurisdiction within thirty (30) days after the filing of the Notice of Removal. The parties are hereby on notice that this Court requires all filings to be formatted in 12 point Times New Roman font and double spaced, including any footnotes, with one inch margins on all sides. Failure to follow these formatting guidelines may result in the filing being stricken, any opposing filing being granted by default, and the imposition of other sanctions, including attorney's fees and costs. Multiple Plaintiffs or Defendants shall file joint motions with co-parties unless there are clear conflicts of position. If conflicts of position exist, parties shall explain the conflicts in their separate motions. Failure to comply with ANY of these procedures may result in the imposition of appropriate sanctions, including but not limited to, the striking of the motion or dismissal of this action. The parties shall seek extensions of time in a timely fashion. "A motion for extension of time is not self-executing.... 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). Pursuant to Administrative Order 2016-70 of the Southern District of Florida and consistent with the Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit's Local Rules and Internal Operating Procedures, within three (3) days of the conclusion of a trial or other proceeding, parties must file via CM/ECF electronic versions of documentary exhibits admitted into evidence, including photographs of non-documentary physical exhibits. The Parties are directed to comply with each of the requirements set forth in Administrative Order 2016-70 unless directed otherwise by the Court.

Upon reaching a settlement in this matter the parties are instructed to notify the Court by telephone and to file a Notice of Settlement within twenty-four (24) hours. Signed by Judge K.
