June 3, 2025 Opinion or Order Filing 8 ORDER. On June 1, 2025, Plaintiff filed her Complaint purportedly seeking preliminary injunctive relief. (See Doc. #1). It is unclear whether Plaintiff truly seeks a preliminary injunction or an injunction at the time of final judgment. In any event, Plaintiff's purported request for a preliminary injunction fails to comply with Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 65, the Local Rules for the Middle District of Florida, and otherwise fails to establish a basis for this Court to enter a preliminary injunction. Accordingly, any request for preliminary injunctive relief in Plaintiff's Complaint (Doc. #1) is DENIED without prejudice for Plaintiff's failure to comply with Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 65 and the Local Rules for the Middle District of Florida. Plaintiff may proceed on her claim for injunctive relief at the time of final judgment. See Order for details. Signed by Judge John L. Badalamenti on 6/3/2025. (BPC)
