CIVIL CASE MANAGEMENT PLAN AND SCHEDULING ORDER: All parties do not consent to conducting all further proceedings before a United States Magistrate Judge, including motions and trials. At this time the parties do not consent to conduct all further proceedings before a United States Magistrate Judge; however, the parties are continuing to discuss whether to consent to a referral to Magistrate Judge James C. Francis, IV. Settlement discussions have taken place. Due to the parties' intent to further pursue settlement discussions prior to any motion for class or collective action certification, they agree to an informal exchange of documents and information relating to the plaintiff and the proposed class. Amended Pleadings due by 4/27/2017. Joinder of Parties due by 4/27/2017. Deposition due by 8/25/2017. Fact Discovery due by 10/13/2017.

Plaintiff request a jury trial on all issues so triable. It is Defendants' position that any issue not required by law to be tried to a jury, including but not limited to any determination of equitable remedies, liquidated damages, or attorneys' fees or costs, is not to be tried to a jury, as those remedies and damages are to be decided by the Court. Counsel for the parties have conferred and their present best estimate of the length of trial is 5 days, if as to the named plaintiff only. If this action is and remains certified as a class/collective action for trial, then the parties will be able to provide an estimate for the length of trial at a later date once they know the class size and scope of evidence.
