08/21/2023 ENTRY -- This matter came before the Court on the 10th day of August, 2023 for a Pre-Trial / Status Conference upon a Complaint filed by Plaintiff November 10, 2020. Present in Court were Brian K. Duncan, counsel for Plaintiffs; James D. Owen, counsel for Defendant, Fredericka Wagner; and Rick Nash, counsel for Defendant, George W Wagner, IV.
The Judge addressed the media that were present in the Courtroom, advising them that Rule 12 of the Rules of Superintendence for the Courts of Ohio would be followed during this proceeding.
The Court finds that a Pre-Trial Statement was filed by Attorney Duncan for Plaintiffs; Attorney Owen for Defendant, Fredericka Wagner; and Attorney Nash advised the Court that he will be filing a Statement for his client, George W. Wagner IV.
On August 3, 2023, Attorney Owen filed a Motion for Summary Judgment on behalf of his client, Fredericka Wagner. At the time of the filing, Attorney Owen failed to request from the Court leave to file, and in open Court made a Motion for Leave to file Summary Judgment, which the Judge granted from the bench. Parties will be given until Thursday, September 7, 2023, being twenty-eight (28) days from the date of this hearing to respond to Defendant, Fredericka Wagner's Motion for Summary Judgment.
The Court addressed Attorney Duncan's reference regarding the possibility of filing a Civil Rule 56 Motion, which would stay Summary Judgment until discovery is complete. The Judge advised Attorney Duncan that any Rule 56 Motion would need to be filed with the Court and shall cite arguments that support said Motion. If filed, Attorneys for Defendants will have fourteen (14) days to reply to Plaintiffs Rule 56 Motion, and then Attorney for Plaintiff will be given seven (7) days to respond to Defendants reply.
Discovery was discussed in depth with all parties. Judge informed all parties that the discovery process needs to begin now, due to the age of this case.
Attorney Duncan advised the Court that he would be filing any necessary pleadings to clean up the docket in this case.
It is, therefore, the ORDER of the Court that all Discovery shall be completed on or before Monday, February 12, 2024.
Once Discovery has been completed Attorney Owen is granted leave until Tuesday, March 12, 2024, if needed, to supplement his previously filed Motion for Summary Judgment.
Attorney Nash will also be given until Tuesday, March 12, 2024, to file any Motion for Summary Judgment on behalf of his client.
After any supplements to, or new Motions for Summary Judgment have been filed, Attorney Duncan will have until Friday, April 12, 2024, to file a response to any supplemented or new Motions for Summary Judgment.
Attorney Owen and Nash will then be given until Tuesday, April 30, 2024, to file any replies to Attorney Duncan's response.
The Clerk is hereby directed to serve a copy of this Entry to all counsel of record in this action, and to any unrepresented parties herein by ordinary U. S. mail.
There being no further matters before the Court, said Court was adjourned.
