September 25, 2023 Opinion or Order Filing 19 PAPERLESS ORDER denying the Plaintiff's pro se #16 motion requesting evidence; #17 motion to disqualify counsel; and #18 motion for an interpreter because none of them contains a pre-filing-conference certification, as required by the Court's Local Rules. As the Court has previously pointed out to the Plaintiff, Local Rule 7.1(a)(3) requires a party filing a motion in a civil case to first confer with all parties or non-parties who may be affected by the relief sought in a good-faith effort to resolve by agreement the issues raised in the motion. The filing party must then include in the motion a statement explaining to the Court that (1) all or some of the issues raised in the motion are unopposed; (2) the parties conferred but could not agree on all or some of the issues raised in the motion; or (3) the party diligently attempted to confer but was unable to reach the opposing counsel. S.D. Fla. L.R. 7.1(a)(3). The purpose of the rule is to ensure judicial economy, prevent courts from wasting time evaluating issues the parties might be in agreement on, inform the Court as to whether it need wait for a response from the opposing party before deciding the motion, and, importantly, force the parties to engage in the meaningful exchange of information and viewpoints. See, e.g., Aguilar v. United Floor Crew, Inc. , No. 14-CIV-61605, 2014 WL 6751663, at *1 (S.D. Fla. Dec. 1, 2014) (Bloom, J.). Although the Court is mindful that the Plaintiff is proceeding pro se, and affords him some degree of latitude based on that status, he must nonetheless abide by the Court's rules. This is especially so when the Court has already explained the importance of complying with the Court's rule with respect to this very issue. The Plaintiff is warned that his continued failure to comply with the Court's orders and rules may result in sanctions, including the striking of his pleadings and the dismissal of his case. Signed by Judge Robert N. Scola, Jr. (kbe)

September 7, 2023 Opinion or Order Filing 10 PAPERLESS ORDER: The Court denies, without prejudice, #6 the Plaintiff's motion "Striking Motion to Dismiss Cases From Being Transferred." Although it is not entirely clear, it appears the Plaintiff believes this case should be remanded back to state court. Regardless, the Court denies the motion because it does not contain a pre-filing-conference certification, as required by the Court's Local Rules. Local Rule 7.1(a)(3) requires a party filing a motion in a civil case to first confer with all parties or non-parties who may be affected by the relief sought in a good-faith effort to resolve by agreement the issues raised in the motion. The filing party must then include in the motion a statement explaining to the Court that (1) all or some of the issues raised in the motion are unopposed; (2) the parties conferred but could not agree on all or some of the issues raised in the motion; or (3) the party diligently attempted to confer but was unable to reach the opposing counsel. S.D. Fla. L.R. 7.1(a)(3). The purpose of the rule is to ensure judicial economy, prevent courts from wasting time evaluating issues the parties might be in agreement on, inform the Court as to whether it need wait for a response from the opposing party before deciding the motion, and, importantly, force the parties to engage in the meaningful exchange of information and viewpoints. See, e.g., Aguilar v. United Floor Crew, Inc. , No. 14-CIV-61605, 2014 WL 6751663, at *1 (S.D. Fla. Dec. 1, 2014) (Bloom, J.). Although the Court is mindful that the Plaintiff is proceeding pro se, and affords him some degree of latitude based on that status, he must nonetheless abide by the Courts rules.
