October 26, 2023 Filing 17 NOTICE of Lead Counsel Designation by Anthony J. Gonzalez on behalf of Mary Jane Hays, Kenneth Hays, Sr.. Lead Counsel: Anthony Gonzalez. (Gonzalez, Anthony)
October 24, 2023 Opinion or Order Filing 16 ENDORSED ORDER. Attorney Anthony J. Gonzalez has failed to respond to the Court's prior order 12 as directed. Out of an abundance of caution, he is given until 10/27/2023 to respond. If counsel again does nothing, the Court will consider additional sanctions, to include dismissing this action. Signed by Magistrate Judge Kyle C. Dudek on 10/24/2023. (DM)

October 16, 2023 Filing 13 Minute Entry. Virtual Proceedings held before Magistrate Judge Kyle C. Dudek: PRELIMINARY PRETRIAL CONFERENCE held on 10/16/2023. (Digital) (CGW)
October 16, 2023 Opinion or Order Filing 12 ENDORSED ORDER. Attorney Anthony J. Gonzalez failed to attend the Rule 16 conference on October 16, 2023. Gonzalez is the lead--and only--attorney for Plaintiff. It is Gonzalez's responsibility to comply with the court's hearing notices and to ensure that he receives them. By failing to do so, he needlessly wasted the time of both the court and opposing counsel. A sanction is appropriate both as a consequence and to deter future acts of unprofessionalism. By October 23, 2023, Gonzalez must either (1) file a notice certifying he has mailed a copy of this order and a check for $50 payable to the Southwest Florida Federal Court Bar Association to P.O. Box 264, Fort Myers, Florida 33902 or (2) show cause why the court should not require him to do so. The SWFL Federal Bar (a 501(c)(3) organization) will use these funds to supply, equip, and maintain the attorney lounge, which serves as a workplace for the benefit of all attorneys who visit the courthouse. The Rule 16 conference will be rescheduled by separate notice. Signed by Magistrate Judge Kyle C. Dudek on 10/16/2023. (Dudek, Kyle)
