Case & Trial Management Preferences:
CIVIL
Standing Order - Courtesy Copy of Documents in Excess of Twenty-five (25) Pages
Motion Practice
Judge Kovachevich issues an Order of Procedure in civil cases once all parties have appeared. This order requires that a party provide copies to her office of all cases cited in any filed motion or responses.
Judge Kovachevich does not regularly provide oral argument on motions, dispositive or otherwise. Her chambers will set argument if Judge Kovachevich determines it is appropriate. Discovery matters are referred to the magistrate judge assigned to the case. The court will approve consents to the magistrate judge for less than the entire case, i.e. for entry of final order, not report and recommendation, on motion for summary judgment.
Settlement
Most civil cases are referred to mediation before trial. Judge Kovachevich does not conduct settlement conferences but often does refer cases to a magistrate judge to conduct a settlement conference in conjunction with a pretrial conference.
