ENDORSED ORDER dismissing this case for Plaintiffs' failure to comply with the procedural rules and Court Orders governing these proceedings. On June 18, 2026, Plaintiffs were notified #7 of the necessity that they comply with procedural rules and Court Orders. The Magistrate Judge entered a detailed 8-page order that, among other things, provided links to the Middle District of Florida's Guide to Proceeding Without a Lawyer, the Middle District of Florida Discovery Handbook, and the Middle District of Florida Local Rules. The Magistrate Judge warned Plaintiffs that "[y]our failure to comply with the rules or any Court order could result in sanctions, including dismissal of your case." (Doc. # 7 at 1.) Then, on June 24, 2026, the parties were 10 again warned of the existence of and need to comply with procedural rules and Court Orders that govern these proceedings. They were informed that "[f]ailure to comply with ANY Local Rules or Court Orders may result in the imposition of sanctions including, but not limited to, the dismissal of this action or entry of default without further notice." (Doc. # 10.) Despite these warnings, Plaintiffs filed a #21 response to a motion to dismiss that was stricken 23 for failure to comply with Local Rule 1.08 and Plaintiffs filed a #22 Motion for Hearing that was stricken for failure to comply with Local Rules 1.08, 3.01(g), and 3.01(d). Even after these filings were stricken, Plaintiffs filed two additional motions #24, #27 that again fail to comply with Local Rules 1.08 and 3.01(g). "[I]n the long run, experience teaches that strict adherence to the procedural requirements... is the best guarantee of evenhanded administration of the law." McNeil v. United States, 508 U.S. 106, 113 (1993) (quoting Mohasco Corp. v. Silver, 447 U.S. 807, 826 (1980)). Beyond mere reminders, the Court has warned Plaintiffs that further non-compliance may lead to dismissal of this case, a default, or the imposition of sanctions. Plaintiffs have also been noticed of the resources this Court makes available to pro se litigants. Repeated non-compliance with the requirements to litigate in this Court is more than a mere matter of form. The Middle District of Florida is one of the busiest United States District Courts in the nation. The Court is one of finite time and resources. The time it spends addressing routine non-compliance with its orders is interferes "with the ability of diligent litigants to obtain prompt judicial resolution of their disputes." See Mindek v. Rigatti, 964 F.2d 1369, 1374 (3d Cir. 1992). As the Eleventh Circuit has noted, the "'wasting [of] scarce judicial and parajudicial resources... impedes the due administration of justice' and, in a very real sense, amounts to obstruction of justice." Byrne v. Nezhat, 261 F.3d 1075, 1131 (11th Cir. 2001) (quoting United States v. Silverman, 745 F.2d 1386, 1395 (11th Cir. 1984)). Consequently, "[f]ederal courts have the inherent authority to 'fashion an appropriate sanction for conduct which abuses the judicial process.'" See Trump v. Clinton, 161 F.4th 671, 688 (11th Cir. 2025) (quoting Chambers v. NASCO, Inc., 501 U.S. 32, 44-45 (1991)). The Court may also sua sponte dismiss a claim for failure to obey court orders and rules pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(b). Betty K Agencies, Ltd. v. M/V MONADA, 432 F.3d 1333, 1337 (11th Cir. 2005). And although dismissal "is a severe sanction, its imposition is justified when a party chooses to disregard the sound and proper directions of the district court." Friedlander v. Nims, 755 F.2d 810, 813 (11th Cir. 1985).The Clerk is directed to terminate any pending motions and close this file. Signed by Judge Anne-Leigh Gaylord Moe on 7/29/2026.
