1 verbatim chambers requirement from Judge Rodney Gilstrap's published procedures (mediation & settlement).
United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas — Judge Rodney Gilstrap's cases only. Chambers procedures change without notice; the judge's own published document controls. Procedural information only; not legal advice.
In all civil cases in which local counsel appear of record prior to mediation being undertaken, local counsel shall be physically present at and materially involved in the mediation process at all times and stages.
Reviewer note: Composed 2026-09-26 from what the judge's own official page (https://www.txed.uscourts.gov/?q=judge/district-judge-rodney-gilstrap) and the court's procedure pages publish for the judge: https://www.txed.uscourts.gov/sites/default/files/judgeFiles/Standing%20Order%20--%20Local%20Counsel%20Mediation%20Involvement%20%28Kecia%20C%29.pdf (sha256 30f0e8bd67f4, pdf, 2 pages). Whole sentences with mandatory language, verbatim, whitespace normalised only; grouped by topic as the Florida federal lane (2026-09-14). Custody: BenchPath's private custody store. Regrouped 2026-09-26: the topic map's Mediation pattern matched 'mediate' inside words such as 'immediately', 'intermediate' and 'remediation', so sentences using those words were filed under Mediation & settlement; it now matches whole words only. The sentences are unchanged; only their topic page changed.
1 verbatim mandatory provision from 13-16-s.
2 verbatim mandatory provisions from 15-41-s.
