| Filing 13 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). Motions for Extension of Time 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). Labeling Exhibits on CM/ECF Exhibits to pleadings and motions shall be docketed in accordance with the Court's 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.) Notices of Settlement 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 3/24/2026. (rg01) |

PAPERLESS ORDER granting in part and denying in part #5 Expedited Motion to Extend Time to Respond to the First Amended Complaint or, in the Alternative, Forthcoming Second Amended Complaint. Defendant's request for a 14-day extension of time (i.e., until 3/31/2026) to respond to the First Amended Complaint is granted. Defendant's request to require Plaintiff to file any second amended complaint within 3 business days is denied. However, to the extent Plaintiff intends to seek to file a second amended complaint (either with Defendant's consent or leave of court), Plaintiff should move forward without delay, as undue delay may result in the denial of a motion for leave to amend. Lastly, Defendant's request for an extension of time to respond to Plaintiff's not-yet-filed second amended complaint is denied without prejudice. If and when Plaintiff files a second amended complaint, Defendant may seek an extension of time to respond if appropriate. Signed by Magistrate Judge Jared M. Strauss on 3/11/2026. (emd)
