Date Filed Document Text
July 23, 2026 Filing 14 MOTION for Miscellaneous Relief, specifically Request for Removal of Racist Florida Judges in Accident by County Bus Driver by Amar Gueye. (Attachments: #1 Exhibit, #2 Mailing Envelope)(LD)
June 2, 2026 Opinion or Order Filing 13 ENDORSED ORDER: "Plaintiff's Request for a Timely May's meeting Pursuant to the Middle District Local Rule 3.01(g) & 28 U.S. Code 651" (Doc. #12) is denied. The Court notes that the motion to proceed without costs remains pending, and that no Defendants have been served at this time. This case will be handled in the normal course of proceedings. Plaintiff is advised that even pro se plaintiffs must conform with procedural rules, including the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and the Local Rules of the Middle District of Florida. Litigation - particularly in federal court - is difficult, and Plaintiff should consider hiring an attorney. If he is unable to afford counsel, he should consider the resources available to pro se litigants, including the Legal Information Program operated by the Tampa Bay Chapter of the Federal Bar Association, and the Middle District of Florida's guide to assist pro se litigants proceeding in federal court, which is located on the Court's website. Signed by Judge Thomas P. Barber on 6/2/2026. (ANL)
May 22, 2026 Filing 12 MOTION for Miscellaneous Relief, specifically for a Timely May's Meeting by Amar Gueye. (Attachments: #1 Mailing Envelope)(LD)
May 8, 2026 Opinion or Order Filing 11 ENDORSED ORDER: Plaintiff's motion (Doc. #10) is denied. To the extent that Plaintiff seeks disqualification of the judges assigned to this case, he has failed to put forth any legitimate basis for disqualification. Plaintiff does not put forth any evidence that the judges have any personal bias against him, nor has he shown how any alleged personal bias has impacted any rulings. He appears to complain about delay, but his case and motion have not been pending for long; there is no unreasonable delay here. To the extent that Plaintiff requests to expedite ruling on his pending motion to proceed without costs (Doc. #2), the motion is denied. This motion and this case will be addressed in the normal course of proceedings. Finally, to the extent Plaintiff seeks "consolidation," he does not point out any other case to consolidate with the instant case, making consolidation wholly inappropriate. Signed by Judge Thomas P. Barber on 5/8/2026. (ANL)
May 7, 2026 Filing 10 MOTION to Disqualify Judge, MOTION to Expedite by Amar Gueye. (Attachments: #1 Mailing Envelope)(MCB)
April 20, 2026 Opinion or Order Filing 9 ENDORSED ORDER denying Plaintiff's #8 construed motion for discovery, docket correction, and change of venue. Beginning with Plaintiff's discovery request, Courts in this circuit have found such motions premature where, as here, the plaintiff has a pending motion to proceed in forma pauperis (IFP motion). See, e.g., Lott v. City of Ocala, 2026 WL 201245, at *2 (M.D. Fla. Jan. 27, 2026) (denying a pro se plaintiff's discovery motion prior to the resolution of the plaintiff's IFP motion because the plaintiff "ha[d] yet to establish a viable cause of action") (internal quotation marks and citation omitted); McKinney v. Kemp, 2026 WL 678420, at *5 (M.D. Ga. Mar. 10, 2026) (rejecting a pro se plaintiff's motion for discovery as premature since it was filed before a decision was rendered on the plaintiff's pending IFP motion). Regarding Plaintiff's request that the docket in this matter reflect his jury demand, that request is denied as moot since the docket now evidences that such a demand has been made. As for Plaintiff's change of venue request, Plaintiff is free to "file the case in the venue he desires," especially since Defendants have not yet appeared in the case and no service of process has apparently been effectuated. Haggerty v. Scott, 2025 WL 3623720, at *2 (M.D. Fla. Dec. 15, 2025). Signed by Magistrate Judge Christopher P. Tuite on 4/20/2026. (TC)
April 16, 2026 Filing 8 MOTION for Timely Discovery, and MOTION for Miscellaneous Relief, specifically Trial by Jury or MOTION to Change Venue/transfer Case by Amar Gueye. (Attachments: #1 Mailing Envelope)(MCB) Motions referred to Magistrate Judge Christopher P. Tuite.
February 27, 2026 Opinion or Order Filing 6 ENDORSED ORDER: Plaintiff's motion for reconsideration (Doc. #5) is denied. Signed by Judge Thomas P. Barber on 2/27/2026. (ANL)
February 27, 2026 Filing 5 MOTION for Reconsideration re 4 Order on Motion for Miscellaneous Relief by Amar Gueye. (CTR)
February 10, 2026 Opinion or Order Filing 4 ENDORSED ORDER: Plaintiff's "Request for Electronic Filing" (Doc. #3) is denied. "It is the District's preferred policy to disallow pro se litigants access to electronic filing unless extenuating circumstances exist to justify waiving CM/ECF procedures." Fisher v. District School Bd. of Collier County, No. 2:10-cv-512-FtM-29SPC, 2010 WL 3522215, at *1 (M.D. Fla. Sept. 7, 2010). Plaintiff has not shown good cause to warrant receiving electronic notices of filings in this case. Signed by Judge Thomas P. Barber on 2/10/2026. (ANL)
February 9, 2026 Filing 3 MOTION for Miscellaneous Relief, specifically for Electronic Filing by Amar Gueye. (e-portal) (CTR)
January 29, 2026 Filing 2 MOTION to Proceed In Forma Pauperis / Affidavit of Indigency by Amar Gueye. (LSS) Motions referred to Magistrate Judge Christopher P. Tuite.
