Verbatim from the order's own text layer, harvested 2026-07-24; whitespace normalised only. No OCR was used. Only sentences containing mandatory language (shall, must, may not, no later than, within N) are reproduced — the full document is in custody and is the controlling text. • The mediator will not be allowed to give you legal advice or to give you an opinion about the lawsuit. • To participate in mediation, as soon as practical, you must contact the Collins Center for Public Policy, Inc. by calling 877-352-2004 between 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., (Eastern Time) Monday through Friday. • To participate in mediation, you also provide financial information to the mediator and meet with an approved foreclosure counselor prior to mediation. • You will not be charged any additional amount for meeting with a foreclosure counselor. • If you have attended mediation arranged by Collins Center prior to being served with this lawsuit, and if mediation did not result in a settlement, you may file a motion asking the court to send the case to mediation again if your financial circumstances have changed since the first mediation.
The mediator will not be allowed to give you legal advice or to give you an opinion about the lawsuit.
Reviewer note: Document sha256: c689bef226580bb5330090c2a8a873986df64c7054bb5aa85fd26e5e41afc2d5 (46520 bytes). BenchPath harvested this circuit itself because no research corpus existed for it. Extraction is conservative: mandatory-language sentences only, so this rule is a faithful subset of the order, never a summary of it.
Judge Shull requires ALL motions set for special-set hearing to go to mediation before the hearing is held.
Judge Burkhart will not schedule a temporary-relief hearing until mediation has been held ON the temporary relief sought — mediation first, hearing second.
Judge Sharrit refers ALL cases to mediation (exceptions only by leave) and openly encourages Special Magistrates under Rule 1.490(b) to beat the hearing-time bottleneck.
