UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
MIDDLE DISTRICT OF FLORIDA
OCALA DIVISION
ROY SHERMAN,
Plaintiff,
v.

Case No: 5:15-cv-36-Oc-34PRL

CHRIS BLAIR, FRANCO PORCELLI
and PAXTON SAPP
Defendants.

ORDER
Before the Court is Defendant Officer Paxton Sapp’s motion to be excused from the
upcoming settlement conference.

(Doc. 63).

Sapp states that he should be excused from

attending the conference because his defense is being provided by the Florida Sheriffs’ Self
Insurance Program, which will have a claims adjuster present at the conference with authority to
resolve and settle the claims against Sapp. Sapp also states that his personal presence will not
contribute to the conference (but will place a hardship on him) and that Plaintiff consents to this
request. Upon due consideration, the motion (Doc. 63) is GRANTED.
DONE and ORDERED in Ocala, Florida on August 22, 2016.
