Judge Mooty grants joint motion to continue mediation deadline to February 27, 2026

The court extended the mediation deadline to February 27, 2026, following a joint motion from the parties. Judge Harold D. Mooty, III signed the order on February 3, 2026.

This extension pushes back the timeline for the parties to attempt settlement through mediation. The case remains active, but the court has not yet assigned a judge beyond Mooty's involvement with this order. The extension suggests the parties need more time to negotiate or prepare for mediation, which could affect the overall schedule of the litigation.

The docket does not provide further details on the underlying claims or parties involved. The court’s decision to grant the continuance indicates cooperation between the parties on managing the case timeline. The next steps will likely depend on how mediation proceeds under the new deadline and whether the parties can reach a resolution before that date.
