July 19, 2023 Opinion or Order Filing 101 ENDORSED ORDER: This action was removed to this Court on November 23, 2022, making service due February 21, 2023. (Doc. #1). A review of the docket reveals that Mr. Pop has not served the summons and complaint on Defendant Haley Palve within the 90-day deadline. Accordingly, Mr. Pop is directed to show cause by July 26, 2023, why Ms. Palve should not be dismissed as a party to this action because of the failure to timely effect service of process. Signed by Judge Virginia M. Hernandez Covington on 7/19/2023. (CKW)
July 17, 2023 Opinion or Order Filing 100 ENDORSED ORDER: On the basis of the Status Report by Alin Pop (Doc. #99), this cause is hereby dismissed as to Gabrielle Epstein, only, without prejudice and subject to the right of the parties, within 60 days of the date hereof, to submit a stipulated form of final order or judgment, or request an extension of time, should they so choose or for any party to move to reopen the action, upon good cause being shown. After that 60 day period, however, without further order, this dismissal shall be deemed with prejudice. Furthermore, the Court advises the parties that "good cause" exists to reopen an action when a settlement agreement has yet to be finalized because of various delays. But incomplete performance of an executed settlement agreement, such as the failure to disburse settlement funds, does not constitute good cause to reopen an action. This Court does not retain jurisdiction to ensure performance of a settlement agreement because such failure to perform should be addressed in a separate breach of contract action. The case remains open as to the claims against all other defendants. Signed by Judge Virginia M. Hernandez Covington on 7/17/2023. (CKW)

April 7, 2023 Opinion or Order Filing 73 ENDORSED ORDER denying Gabrielle Epstein's Motion to Stay Discovery. (Doc. #69). As previously stated, the Court does not as a general practice allow stays of discovery while a motion to dismiss is pending extraordinary circumstances. See Cabrera v. Progressive Behav. Sci., Inc., 331 F.R.D. 185, 186 (S.D. Fla. 2019) ("A stay of discovery pending the determination of a motion to dismiss...is the exception rather than the rule."). In her motion, Ms. Epstein does not raise such extraordinary circumstances here. As such, the Court will not stay discovery as to Ms. Epstein. Signed by Judge Virginia M. Hernandez Covington on 4/7/2023. (CKW)
April 7, 2023 Opinion or Order Filing 72 ENDORSED ORDER denying as moot Alin Pop's Motion for Extension of Time to File Response to Motion for Sanctions. (Doc. #68). Signed by Judge Virginia M. Hernandez Covington on 4/7/2023. (CKW)
April 7, 2023 Opinion or Order Filing 71 ENDORSED ORDER denying without prejudice Alin Pop's Motion for Extension of Time to Amend Pleadings or Add Parties. (Doc. #67). Without a proposed amended complaint, the Court is unable to determine whether this motion is meritorious. As such, Mr. Pop may refile the motion with a proposed amended complaint. Signed by Judge Virginia M. Hernandez Covington on 4/7/2023. (CKW)
April 7, 2023 Opinion or Order Filing 70 ENDORSED ORDER denying without prejudice Gabrielle Epstein's Motion for Sanctions. (Doc. #65). At this stage of the case, Ms. Epstein's motion is premature. The Eleventh Circuit has noted that "it is anticipated that in the case of pleadings the sanctions issue under Rule 11 normally will be determined at the end of the litigation." Donaldson v. Clark, 819 F.2d 1551, 1555 (11th Cir. 1987). Any ruling on Ms. Epstein's motion for sanctions would be premature because in doing so the Court would need to make findings regarding the sufficiency of the claims raised, and the Court's ruling on her Motion to Dismiss (Doc. #38) could affect some of the issues raised by her that she believes warrant sanctions. See generally Eli Research, LLC v. Must Have Info Inc., No. 2:13-cv-695-SPC-CM, 2014 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 125084 (M.D. Fla. Sept. 8, 2014) (denying without prejudice defendant's motion for sanctions as premature where defendant contestant the sufficiency of the claims raised and had previously filed a motion to dismiss). Therefore, Ms. Epstein's request for sanctions is more appropriately considered at the end of litigation. Signed by Judge Virginia M. Hernandez Covington on 4/7/2023. (CKW)
