1
UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE
NORTHERN DISTRICT OF FLORIDA
PENSACOLA DIVISION
331 FREEPORT PARTNERS, LLC,
Plaintiff,
v. 	Case No.: 3:25cv863/TKW/ZCB
331 PARTNERS, LLC,
Defendant.
_____________________________/
ORDER
On April 17, 2026, Defendant 331 Partners, LLC filed a motion to
compel discovery responses. 	(Doc. 38). 	Although it appears the parties
conferred before the motion was filed, the Court has found that telephonic
or in-person conversations between counsel after a motion has been filed
often results in a resolution (or at least the narrowing) of the dispute.
The Court, therefore, ORDERS counsel to confer telephonically, by
videoconference, or in person regarding the issues raised in the motion.
(Doc. 38). 	That conference shall occur on or before Thursday, April
23, 2026. 	During that conference, the Court expects the parties to
endeavor in good faith to resolve the issues raised in the motion. 	If

counsel resolve the issues raised in the motion, then they should file a
joint status report advising the Court that the matter has been resolved.1
If the parties are unable to resolve the matter after having a
conference, then Plaintiff should file a response to the motion on or
before Monday, April 27, 2026. 	Due to the approaching discovery
deadline, the Court is expediting Plaintiff’s response. Plaintiff’s response
should include the date that the in person, videoconference, or telephonic
conference occurred, as well as the duration of the conference.
If the parties are unable to resolve the issues raised in the motion,
counsel should expect that a hearing may be scheduled shortly after
Plaintiff’s response is filed.
It is so ORDERED. This 20th day of April 2026.

1 The parties must file a status report to inform the Court if the motion
or any issues raised therein are resolved before Plaintiff’s response is
due. 	Failure to file a status report or a response in opposition by the
deadline may lead to the motion being granted by default. N.D. Fla. Loc.
