| Filing 7 NOTICE OF COURT PRACTICEUnless otherwise specified by the Court, every motion, legal memorandum, brief, and otherwise shall: be double-spaced, in justified alignment, in 12-point font, using either Times New Roman or Arial typeface. This Notice does not supplant the requirements and provisions of Local Rule 7.1(c). The Court cautions parties against excessive use of footnotes.Multiple Plaintiffs or Defendants shall file joint motions (and responses to motions) with co-parties unless there are clear conflicts of position. If conflicts of position exist, parties shall explain the conflicts in their separate motions (and responses).Parties are encouraged to seek extensions of time in a timely fashion. "A motion for extension of time is not self-executing; no motion is, unless expressly provided for by the applicable rule. Yet, by filing these motions on or near the last day, and then sitting idle pending the Court's disposition of the motion, parties essentially grant their own motion. The Court will not condone this." Compere v. Nusret Miami, LLC, 2020 WL 2844888, at *2 (S.D. Fla. May 7, 2020) (internal citations omitted).Exhibits to pleadings and motions shall be docketed in accordance with the Courts CM/ECF procedures, Rule 3L.(2): (2) Describing an Attachment to a Docket EntryA party filing an attachment to a document shall select one of the prescribed attachment categories from the drop-down menu (e.g., affidavit, transcript), provide an alphabetical or numerical designation (e.g., Exhibit A, Exhibit 1), and descriptively name each attachment (e.g., Exhibit 1 - Affidavit of Boo Radley) in a manner that enables the Court to easily locate and distinguish attachments. (Emphasis added.) Local Rule 16.4, Local Rules for the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida, requires that a Notice of Settlement "shall be filed and served jointly by counsel for all parties to the settlement." A unilateral notice of settlement will not stay pre-trial deadlines or hearings.Failure to comply with any of these procedures may result in the imposition of appropriate sanctions. Signed by Judge Raag Singhal on 2/21/2024. (lp00) |

|
Filing 4
PAPERLESS ORDER ON JURISDICTION - As the party asking this Court to invoke its jurisdiction, Plaintiff must properly allege the citizenship of each of the parties to establish subject matter jurisdiction. The Complaint alleges diversity of citizenship. (DE #1 at 18). Plaintiff Vanguard Plastic Surgery, PLLC is a professional limited liability company, but the Complaint fails to allege the citizenship of the PLLC's members. See Rolling Greens MHP, L.P. v. Comcast SCH Holdings L.L.C., 374 F.3d 1020, 1022 (11th Cir. 2004) (citizenship of LLC includes citizenship of each member). Defendant Aetna Life Insurance Company is identified as a "foreign for-profit corporation," (DE #1 at 15), but Plaintiff fails to allege Defendant's citizenship. Jurisdiction, therefore, is not properly alleged. Plaintiff is, therefore, ORDERED to file a Supplemental Jurisdictional Statement that shows the Court's jurisdiction over this case. This statement should specifically identify the citizenship of Vanguard Plastic Surgery, PLLC and its members and Aetna Life Insurance Company. This jurisdictional statement is due fourteen (14) days from the date of this Order. Signed by Judge Raag Singhal on 2/8/2024. (lp00)
