September 12, 2023 Opinion or Order Filing 49 PAPERLESS ORDER granting #48 Governor Ronald DeSantis's Motion for Leave to File a Separate Response to the Complaint. The Governor's Response shall not exceed 10 pages, exclusive of the case style, signature block, and any certificates of service. Signed by Judge Roy K. Altman on 9/12/2023. (lcr)
September 12, 2023 Opinion or Order Filing 48 Unopposed MOTION for Leave to File Separate Response to Complaint by Ronald D. DeSantis. (Meros, Nicholas)

September 11, 2023 Opinion or Order Filing 46 PAPERLESS ORDER denying #39 the Defendants' Motion to Stay Briefing on Plaintiffs' Motion for Preliminary Injunction (the "Motion"). The Defendants say that "it is difficult for the State Defendants to prepare party-specific arguments on issues like standing and irreparable harm without knowing how the Court will resolve these pending issues." Motion at 2. They add that they "cannot determine at this time whether to seek discovery before a hearing on the Motion for Preliminary Injunction," and that "it would be a better use of the parties' and this Court's resources to stay the briefing pending resolution of the anonymity issue." Ibid. After careful review of the Motion and the Plaintiffs' Response, see #45 , we don't think these reasons are sufficient to justify a protracted stay of the Motion for Preliminary Injunction, see #30 . For one thing, if the Defendants want to seek discovery before the preliminary-injunction hearing, they'll have to show "good cause." See, e.g., FTC v. On Point Glob. LLC, 2020 WL 32996, at *2 (S.D. Fla. Jan. 2, 2020) (Scola, J.). For another, the Defendants don't explain how our ruling on the question of anonymity will affect their decision to seek discovery. As to the "difficulty" of preparing party-specific arguments, the same could be said of almost any complex case. "Ultimately, we enjoy broad discretion in deciding how to best manage the cases before us," Sizemore v. Zhao, 2023 WL 5087341, at *1 (S.D. Fla. Aug. 8, 2023) (Altman, J.) (cleaned up). In this case, we think it makes more sense for the parties to brief both motions (for a preliminary injunction and to proceed anonymously) at the same time. Signed by Judge Roy K. Altman on 9/11/2023. (lcr)

September 5, 2023 Opinion or Order Filing 44 PAPERLESS ORDER granting #42 the parties' Joint Stipulation and Motion to Stay (the "Motion to Stay"). The Plaintiffs and the Defendant State Attorneys "stipulate and jointly move for a stay of all deadlines for the Defendant State Attorneys," subject to the conditions set forth in the Motion to Stay. Id. at 2. "The other Defendants in this action -- Governor DeSantis, Attorney General Moody, and Statewide Prosecutor Cox -- do not oppose this Stipulation and Joint Motion for a Stay." Ibid. Accordingly, the Motion to Stay is GRANTED, and all deadlines are stayed as to the Defendant State Attorneys. Signed by Judge Roy K. Altman on 9/5/2023. (lcr)

August 8, 2023 Opinion or Order Filing 25 PAPERLESS ORDER denying without prejudice #24 the Plaintiffs' Motion for Preliminary Injunction (the "Motion"). "[A] court may issue a preliminary injunction only on notice to the adverse party." Fed. R. Civ. P. 65(a)(1). Although the Plaintiffs certify that they served "a true and correct copy of" the Motion "on all parties of record by e-mail, and U.S. Mail," see Motion at 4, the Defendants have not yet been served in this case, see generally Docket. The Motion is therefore premature. See Doc Dev., LLC v. Ewc Franchise Group, Inc., 2018 WL 2007045, at *1 (S.D. Fla. Mar. 23, 2018) ("There is no indication on the docket [d]efendant has been served with the [complaint], nor has [d]efendant appeared in this action. The [m]otion's Certificate of Service, stating the [m]otion was 'furnished' to two individuals 'via electronic mail,' is not proof of service of the [c]omplaint. [ ] Defendant is not expected or required to respond to a request for a preliminary injunction contained in a motion until it has been served; thus, the request for a preliminary injunction is premature."). The Plaintiffs may re-file their Motion once the Defendants have been served. We also deny without prejudice #17 the Plaintiffs' Motion for Leave to Proceed Anonymously. As we've said, the Plaintiffs have not yet filed proof of service on the Docket, so the Motion to Proceed Anonymously is premature. The Plaintiffs may re-file the Motion to Proceed Anonymously once the Defendants have been served. Signed by Judge Roy K. Altman on 8/8/2023. (lcr)
