October 29, 2020 Opinion or Order Filing 9 PAPERLESS ORDER. THIS CAUSE came before the Court upon Petitioner's Motion for Leave to Exceed the 20 Page Limitation Established for Memorandums of Law in Support of Petitioner's Amended Habeas Petition Under 28 U.S.C. 2254. #8 . Therein, Plaintiff requests leave to exceed the page limit set by Rule 7.1(c) of the Local Rules of the Southern District of Florida in his Amended Habeas Petition by thirty pages, to allow for a fifty-page petition. Id. Local Rules "serve more than a technical purpose, and are held in great esteem by courts around the country." State Farm Mut. Auto. Ins. Co. v. B&A Diagnostic, Inc., 145 F. Supp. 3d 1154, 1158 (S.D. Fla. 2015). These rules apply indiscriminately to pro se litigants and litigants represented by counsel alike. Jablonski v. Travelers Companies, Inc., No. 2:15-cv-365-FtM-38CM, 2016 WL 614655, at *2 (M.D. Fla. Feb. 16, 2016). Here, while the Court finds that a brief expansion of the limit set by the local rules is appropriate, a fifty-page petition would unduly burden the Court's time and resources. Accordingly, UPON CONSIDERATION of the Motion, the pertinent portions of the record, and being otherwise fully advised in the premises, it is hereby ORDERED AND ADJUDGED that Plaintiff's Motion #8 is GRANTED IN PART AND DENIED IN PART. Plaintiff's Amended Habeas Petition shall not exceed a total of thirty pages. Further, Plaintiff is provided an additional ten days to submit the Amended Habeas Petition, which shall be filed on or before November 16, 2020, and otherwise in compliance with this Court's October 5, 2020, Paperless Order 6 . Signed by Chief Judge K. Michael Moore on 10/29/2020. (hwr)

October 5, 2020 Set/Reset Deadlines/Hearings as per DE 6 : Amended Complaint due by 11/6/2020. (lk)
October 5, 2020 Opinion or Order Filing 6 PAPERLESS ORDER. THIS CAUSE came before the Court upon Petitioner's Motion for Leave and for an Extension of Time to File Amended Petition and Memorandum of Law in Support. #4 . Therein, Petitioner requests that the court grant leave to file an amended petition pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 2254 in ninety (90) days. However, as Petitioner conceded in his initial petition timely filed on September 21, 2020, the statute of limitations on Petitioner's claim expired on September 27, 2020. #1 at 23. Therefore, any claims raised in his final amended petition must relate back to the claims raised in the timely filed petition. Davenport v. United States, 217 F.3d 1341 (11th Cir. 2000).Accordingly, UPON CONSIDERATION of the Motion #4 , the pertinent portions of the record, and being otherwise fully advised in the premises, it is hereby ORDERED AND ADJUDGED that Petitioner's Motion for Leave and for an Extension of Time to File Amended Petition and Memorandum of Law in Support #4 is GRANTED IN PART and DENIED IN PART. Petitioner shall file an amended petition pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 2254 on or before November 6, 2020. The amended petition shall be the sole, operative pleading considered in this case, and only the claims listed therein will be addressed by the Court. Lowery v. Ala. Power Co., 483 F.3d 1184, 1219 (11th Cir. 2007) (an amended complaint supersedes the initial complaint and becomes the operative pleading in the case); see also S.D. Fla. L.R. 15.1. To be considered timely, the amended petition must only include claims that "have arisen from the same set of facts" as the claims in the initial petition. See Davenport, 217 F.3d at 1344 (citation and internal quotation marks omitted). However, the amended petition should in no way refer to Petitioner's original filing, nor in any way incorporate by reference claims raised or arguments made in that filing. The facts alleged, and claims raised, in Petitioner's previous filings that are not specifically re-pled in the amended petition will be considered abandoned and voluntarily dismissed. Id. Signed by Chief Judge K. Michael Moore on 10/5/2020. (tsr)
