This matter comes before the Court on a status conference held on December 17, 2018. About a month before the original discovery deadline, the parties negotiated a tentative settlement agreement, and the Court administratively closed the case. (Doc. 69). But a condition precedent did not occur, the settlement was not completed, and the Court reopened the case. (Doc. 77). The parties now agree to complete discovery, then participate in a settlement conference before a magistrate judge.
Accordingly, it is now
ORDERED:
1. The discovery deadline initially set in the Case Management and Scheduling Order (Doc. 30) is revived and extended to January 18, 2019.
2. This case is referred to Magistrate Judge Carol Mirando for a settlement conference to be held after January 18, 2019. The parties are to contact Judge Mirando to set a time convenient to her calendar.
DONE and ORDERED in Fort Myers, Florida this 17th day of December, 2018.
