December 22, 2020 Opinion or Order Filing 15 PAPERLESS ORDER: This matter is before the Court upon the Plaintiff's motion to stay. #14 . The Court denies as moot the Plaintiff's motion to the extent it asks the Court to stay further deadlines with respect to the Defendant's motion to dismiss as the Defendant's motion has already been denied as moot by the Court upon the filing of the Plaintiff's amended complaint. 13 . The Court construes the remainder of the Plaintiff's motion as a motion to extend deadlines for the Plaintiff and Defendant to file their joint discovery plan and conference report. The Court grants the Plaintiff's request and agrees if the Court finds removal proper, these efforts would be a waste of the parties' resources. The Court will set a deadline for the parties to file the required report, if appropriate, after the Court adjudicates the Plaintiff's motion to remand. The Plaintiff is warned that several of her recent filings failed to comply with the Court's Local Rules. Local Rule 7.1(a)(3) requires an attorney filing a motion in a civil case to first confer with opposing counsel in a good-faith effort to resolve by agreement the issues raised in the motion. The filing attorney must then include in the motion a statement explaining to the Court that (1) all or some of the issues raised in the motion are unopposed; (2) counsel conferred but could not agree on all or some of the issues raised in the motion; or (3) counsel diligently attempted to confer but was unable to reach the opposing counsel. S.D. Fla. L.R. 7.1(a)(3). The Plaintiff's motion to remand is not in compliance with the Local Rules. "The purpose of the rule is to ensure judicial economy and prevent courts from considering issues the parties could agree on independently, and to ascertain whether the Court need wait for a response from the opposing party before deciding the motion." Aguilar v. United Floor Crew, Inc. , No. 14-CIV-61605, 2014 WL 6751663, at *1 (S.D. Fla. Dec. 1, 2014) (Bloom, J.). The Plaintiff is ordered to file a notice of conferral with the Court with respect to her motion to remand, consistent with the requirements of the Courts local rules, by December 30, 2020.
