Filing 37
PAPERLESS ORDER denying emergency consideration. The Court has reviewed Plaintiff's Motion, ECF No. #36 , and the Amended Complaint, ECF No. #34 , and finds that Plaintiff has not presented a "true emergency." See VMR Prods., LLC v. Elec. Cigarettes Outlet, LLC, No. 12-23092-CIV-GOODMAN, 2013 WL 5567320, at *1 (S.D. Fla. Oct. 3, 2013) ("Emergencies generally involve risks to the health and safety of individuals, situations where a person is about to be deported, scenarios involving the imminent destruction of property, circumstances under which a business is in real danger of immediate failure or significant financial collapse, or cases where someone is at risk of being denied an essential service."). In particular, the financial concerns underlying the emergency request emerged well over a year ago. This case will be reviewed on a standard briefing timeline rather than an expedited basis. Signed by Magistrate Judge Patrick M. Hunt on 4/6/2026. (hhr)
