December 4, 2023 Opinion or Order Filing 31 PAPERLESS ORDER denying as moot the Defendant Best Buy's #30 Unopposed Motion for Extension of Time and vacating our 26 November 20, 2023, Paperless Order, which ordered the Defendants to respond to the #1 Complaint by December 1, 2023. Having reviewed the Docket, we see that the Plaintiff has struck his #9 Proof of Service as to Defendant Zhenzhen Lin. See #14 Notice of Striking. As we articulated in our #4 Order in Cases with Multiple Defendants, "[t]he time for responsive pleadings-for all Defendants-begins to run once all Defendants have either (1) been served or (2) waived service." Because the Defendant Zhenzhen Lin still has not been served, none of the Defendants are under any obligation to respond to the #1 Complaint. We therefore ORDER the Plaintiff to serve the Defendant Zhenzhen Lin by January 15, 2024. Once Defendant Zhenzhen Lin has been served, all the Defendants will have 21 days to respond to the #1 Complaint. And, as for the Defendants Bank of America, N.A. and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A.'s #29 Joint Motion to Dismiss Complaint, we will still treat that as an operative filing to which the Plaintiffs must respond by December 15, 2023. If, however, the Defendants Bank of America, N.A. and JP Morgan Chase, N.A. would like more time to refine that Motion to Dismiss, they may file a notice of striking. Signed by Judge Roy K. Altman on 12/4/2023. (tbr)

November 21, 2023 Opinion or Order Filing 28 PAPERLESS ORDER striking #27 the Plaintiffs' Notice of Unavailability. Notices of unavailability are not proper filings in federal court. If a conflict arises, counsel should confer with opposing counsel and file a motion for a continuance. See, e.g., Ibezim v. GEO Grp., Inc., 2019 WL 1566507, at *2 (S.D. Fla. Mar. 15, 2019) (Marra, J.) (recognizing that notices of unavailability "have no effect in federal court" (citing S.D. Fla. L.R. 7.1(b)(1))), aff'd, 786 F. App'x 975 (11th Cir. 2019). Also, we flag for counsel that he has identified himself in this notice as "Counsel for Defendant," but it appears he is actually counsel for the Plaintiff. Signed by Judge Roy K. Altman on 11/21/2023. (tbr)

We also remind the Defendants to comply with our #4 Order in Cases with Multiple Defendants, which explains the mechanics of how multiple defendants must go about responding to a complaint.
