Even if this case is unable to go to trial, the parties should have everything ready to go once jurors are able to return. If the parties are agreeable to extending certain deadlines for a short period of time, the court has no objection to the same. But again, ALL outstanding discovery, including outstanding motions should be completed, and the parties are still required to mediate the case.
Reviewer note: Document sha256: 66589dbf2c5baab55f73af66855e5d7f69ddb746be3d6d4de666204755954284. Corpus topic: DISCOVERY. Published during the completeness pass — the audit found 2,753 verbatim requirements against 123 published rules. GOOGLE DOCS VEIN: 102 of the Seventeenth Circuit's 106 division procedure documents are published as Google Docs (docs.google.com/document/d/e/2PACX-...), not as PDFs on the court's own host. Two consecutive fetches of the same Google Doc URL return DIFFERENT bytes — Google injects per-request session config — so the document_sha256 recorded here pins one render, not a stable identity, and content-hash change detection does not work on this vein. Re-verified live 2026-07-24 by text presence instead: six sampled documents still carried 100%, 100%, 100%, 91%, 100% and 100% of their published requirements.

Under the 2025 case-management amendments, a movant must confer with the opposing party in a good-faith effort to resolve a nondispositive motion before filing it, and must include a certificate of conferral.
CV-E layers a second conferral on top of Rule 1.202: certify conferral before filing the motion (Exhibit A) and again before scheduling it for hearing (Exhibit B).
