October 18, 2019 Opinion or Order Filing 28 PAPERLESS ORDER: On October 16, 2019, the Plaintiffs filed an "Expedited Motion to Enforce the Court's Order Requiring Discovery and Scheduling Conference" #21 . The Court's initial order in this case requires the parties to meet and confer by October 25, 2019. The Plaintiffs are complaining that the Defendants have not made themselves available to meet and confer as required by the Court's order. They request that this Court somehow order the enforcement of an Order that has not yet been violated. And the Plaintiffs request that the Court rule by October 21, 2019 at 11:30 a.m. so they can update the court in a related case currently pending in the Southern District of Indiana regarding the status of this case. The Court finds this motion entirely inappropriate. The Court cannot enforce a deadline that has not yet lapsed. The Court cannot order the parties to confer by October 21 when the deadline is October 25, 2019. The Court will not referee every interaction between plaintiffs' counsel and defendants' counsel in this case. Every motion that has been filed to date attaches various strings of emails to show the Court that the parties were unable to confer. The Certificate of Service in the latest motion says that "Plaintiffs' counsel refused to say whether Plaintiffs' support or oppose this motion." That is also improper. The Local Rules' pre-filing conferral requirement seeks to avoid the unnecessary expenditure of judicial resources resolving motions that are not opposed. In some circumstances, the pre-filing-conference requirement allows the court to determine if it needs to wait for a response from the opposing party before ruling on the motion. Needless motions, such as the one filed by Plaintiffs' counsel in this case, are an unnecessary drain of the Courts resources. The Court admonishes counsel for both parties of their duty of courtesy and cooperation with fellow professionals for the efficient administration of our system. The Plaintiffs' motion #21 is denied. Signed by Judge Robert N. Scola, Jr on 10/18/2019. (jaa) [Transferred from Florida Southern on 12/4/2019.]

October 17, 2019 Opinion or Order Filing 26 PAPERLESS ORDER: The Court denies without prejudice #25 the Plaintiffs' motion to exceed the page limits. Plaintiffs have not complied with the Southern District of Florida's CM/ECF Administrative Procedures Rule 3I(1) which states, in part: "If a document to be filed requires a motion requesting leave of Court (e.g., an amended complaint, a document to be filed out of time, or a document exceeding the page limitation), the proposed document shall be submitted as a PDF attachment to the motion." This allows a court to review the proposed filing to evaluate whether excess pages are necessary. It is the Court's experience an enlarged brief does not assist the Court because it is belabored with repetitive arguments. The Plaintiffs failed to establish some special need for excess pages, and the motion is denied. Signed by Judge Robert N. Scola, Jr. on 10/17/2019.
