April 21, 2022 Opinion or Order Filing 814 PAPERLESS ORDER re: Deposition Designations. The parties advised the Court by email earlier today that "The parties have planned to exchange revised, narrowed deposition designations next Tuesday, April 26. We have scheduled a meet and confer conference on Thursday, April 28, to finalize the reduced deposition designations and attempt to further resolve objections. We anticipate providing the Court with those narrowed designations by Friday, April 29." The Court construes this correspondence as a motion for leave to extend the deadline for submitting deposition designations. That request is GRANTED.The Court notes that the parties have submitted deposition designations for 41 separate depositions. The parties are reminded that deposition testimony is admissible only if the deponent is unavailable to testify in person. See Fed. R. Evid. 804(b)(1). Any amended deposition designations shall be signed by counsel for both sides and shall contain a certification that the parties jointly agree that each witness for whom designations are being submitted is unavailable to testify in person. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 11.The parties should be prepared to discuss at the final pretrial conference why the Court should not limit the number of depositions that can be offered at trial. Fed. R. Civ. P. 1. And, finally, should the parties require the Court to resolve contested deposition designations but then not offer that deposition testimony at trial, the Court will impose sanctions for needlessly expending the Court's time to rule on the disputed items.

October 25, 2019 Opinion or Order Filing 317 PAPERLESS ORDER re #316 SCHEDULING REPORT. The Court has reviewed the joint scheduling report and finds the suggested timeline to be appropriate. A separate scheduling order will be entered. Having considered the needs of the case and the other factors under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26(b)(1), and after further consideration of the parties' views, the Court will not limit the number of timeshare owners from whom, or about whom, the parties can take discovery. Instead, the Court will defer to the parties to decide how to manage their own discovery, including allocating their limited number of depositions and interrogatories. It is therefore ORDERED, pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 30(a)(2), that each party may take 20 depositions, total. It is FURTHER ORDERED, pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 33(a)(1), that each party may serve 40 written interrogatories, total. The granting of these additional discovery tools is without prejudice to (1) any party (or third party) seeking a protective order or other limit on the scope of discovery, (2) any party seeking leave for additional depositions or interrogatories upon a showing of good cause, or (3) the parties stipulating to more interrogatories, pursuant to Rule 33(a)(1).

June 5, 2018 Opinion or Order Filing 80 SUPPLEMENTAL ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE as to why the remaining portions of the parties' Confidential Settlement Agreement [DE 54] should remain under seal. The parties' Response [DE 75] to the prior Order to Show Cause [DE 74] does not sufficiently demonstrate good cause for why the entirety of the Confidential Settlement Agreement should remain under seal. See Romero v. Drummond Co., Inc., 480 F.3d 1234, 1246 (11th Cir. 2007)("The common law right of access may be overcome by a showing of good cause, which requires balanc[ing] the asserted right of access against the other party's interest in keeping the information confidential. [W]hether good cause exists... is... decided by the nature and character of the information in question. In balancing the public interest in accessing court documents against a party's interest in keeping the information confidential, courts consider, among other factors, whether allowing access would impair court functions or harm legitimate privacy interests, the degree of and likelihood of injury if made public, the reliability of the information, whether there will be an opportunity to respond to the information, whether the information concerns public officials or public concerns, and the availability of a less onerous alternative to sealing the documents.").

April 6, 2018 Opinion or Order Filing 20 PAPERLESS ORDER granting #16 Defendant's Motion to Remove Incorrectly Filed Documents and denying without prejudice 17 Defendant's Motion to Seal Motion to Dismiss and 18 Defendant's Motion to Seal Motion to Transfer. The Eleventh Circuit has said "[t]he operations of the courts and the judicial conduct of judges are matters of utmost public concern and [t]he common-law right of access to judicial proceedings, an essential component of our system of justice, is instrumental in securing the integrity of the process.... Material filed in connection with any substantive pretrial motion, unrelated to discovery, is subject to the common law right of access.... The common law right of access may be overcome by a showing of good cause, which requires balanc[ing] the asserted right of access against the other party's interest in keeping the information confidential. [W]hether good cause exists... is... decided by the nature and character of the information in question. In balancing the public interest in accessing court documents against a party's interest in keeping the information confidential, courts consider, among other factors, whether allowing access would impair court functions or harm legitimate privacy interests, the degree of and likelihood of injury if made public, the reliability of the information, whether there will be an opportunity to respond to the information, whether the information concerns public officials or public concerns, and the availability of a less onerous alternative to sealing the documents." Romero v. Drummond Co., Inc., 480 F.3d 1234, 1246 (11th Cir. 2007) (citations omitted). Defendants' motions to seal do not sufficiently demonstrate good cause for why its Motion to Dismiss and its Motion to Transfer should be filed under seal. Signed by Judge Robin L. Rosenberg on 4/6/2018. (ege)
