Plaintiff’s Motion to Exclude or Limit Opinions of Defendants’ Experts

Doc. 286 at 2. The Court explained it would direct the clerk to file the exhibits on the
public docket unless, by November 1, 2019, the defendants filed a motion and
memorandum of law showing the presumption of public access to the exhibits is
overcome. Doc. 286 at 2.
The plaintiff timely filed the two exhibits. Docs. S-291, S-291-1. The defendants
have filed no motion to maintain the exhibits under seal, and the deadline to do so
has passed. By November 6, 2019, the clerk must unseal Docs. S-291 and S-291-1
and replace the placeholder at Doc. 263-10 with Doc. 291, and the placeholder at Doc.
263-21 with Doc. 291-1.
At the settlement conference in March 2019, Doc. 250, to foster frank
discussions, I explained I would recuse myself upon request. A party requested

recusal after decisions on motions to seal portions of the record and any other thenpending motions. Having now decided those motions, I recuse myself and direct the
clerk to reassign this case to another United States Magistrate Judge. The parties
agreed I may continue to discuss settlement with them on an ex parte basis.
Ordered in Jacksonville, Florida, on November 4, 2019.
