Filing 54
PAPERLESS ORDER. THIS MATTER is before the Court on the Parties' Joint Unopposed Motion for Extension of Time to Disclose Expert, Expert Witness Summaries and Reports (DE #53 ) ("Joint Motion"). In the Joint Motion, the Parties request extensions of time to comply with the expert disclosure and expert report deadlines. As the Motion was filed two days after Plaintiff's deadline, the Motion fails to comply with the Court's Practices and Procedures, which state that "[a]bsent an emergency, requests for extensions of time must be presented to the Court, by motion, no later than 48 hours prior to the deadline from which the Parties are seeking relief. Sanctions may be imposed for non-emergent requests made less than 48 hours prior to the deadline." Further, the Court finds the Parties have failed to satisfy "good cause" or "excusable neglect." As the Court may "hold litigants to the clear terms of the scheduling order," Josendis v. Wall to Wall Residence Repairs, Inc., 662 F.3d 1292, 1307 (11th Cir. 2011), upon review of the Joint Motion, the record, and applicable law, it is ORDERED AND ADJUDGED that the Parties' Joint Motion (DE #53 ) is DENIED. Signed by Judge Kathleen M. Williams on 9/18/2025. (ah06)

Filing 36
PAPERLESS ORDER. THIS MATTER is before the Court on Plaintiff's Amended Unopposed Motion for Extension of Time to Select Mediator and Schedule Mediation (DE #34 ) ("Motion"). In the Motion, Plaintiff seeks a twenty (20) day extension of time to file the Parties' notice scheduling mediation. As the amended Motion was filed the day after the deadline, the Motion fails to comply with the Court's Practices and Procedures, which state that "[a]bsent an emergency, requests for extensions of time must be presented to the Court, by motion, no later than 48 hours prior to the deadline from which the Parties are seeking relief. Sanctions may be imposed for non-emergent requests made less than 48 hours prior to the deadline." Additionally, Plaintiff's vague justification satisfies neither excusable neglect nor good cause. See Payne v. C.R. Bard, Inc., 606 F. App'x 940, 944 (11th Cir. 2015) ("A party seeking the extension of an already-expired scheduling order deadline must showing both good cause and excusable neglect."). Nevertheless, because the Motion is unopposed, it is ORDERED AND ADJUDGED that the Motion (DE #34 ) is GRANTED IN PART. The Parties shall file their joint notice scheduling mediation on or before July 2, 2025. No further extensions will be granted. Signed by Judge Kathleen M. Williams on 6/23/2025. (ah06)

| Filing 27 PAPERLESS ORDER granting #26 Unopposed MOTION for Extension of Time to File Response to #13 Amended Complaint by City of Opa-Locka ("the City"). The City maintains that it was not properly served with process because Plaintiff attempted service through the City Clerk for the City of Opa-Locka and not pursuant to Fla. Stat. 48.111(1)(a)-(b). Nonetheless, the City agrees to accept the improper service but requests a brief extension of time to file its response. Because the instant motion is unopposed, the Undersigned will exercise my discretion and grant the relief requested. The City will have until June 6, 2025 to file on CM/ECF its response to the #12 First Amended Complaint. Signed by Ch. Magistrate Judge Jonathan Goodman on 5/30/2025. (mkr) |

| Filing 24 PAPERLESS ORDER granting #23 Unopposed MOTION for Extension of Time to File Response to #13 First Amended Complaint filed by Kenneth Ottley ("Ottley"). Ottley's response was due on May 27, 2025. Therefore, the instant motion fails to comply with Judge Williams' 48-hour rule. See Judge Williams' Court Practices and Procedures (available at the Court's website: https://www.flsd.uscourts.gov/content/judge-kathleen-m-williams). Ottley's motion is also untimely under Fed. R. Civ. P. 12.Nonetheless, because the instant motion is unopposed, the Undersigned will exercise my discretion and grant the relief requested, nunc pro tunc. Ottley will have until June 3, 2025 to file on CM/ECF his response to the #12 First Amended Complaint. Going forward, the Undersigned expects strict compliance with the rules, practices, and procedures of this Court. Signed by Ch. Magistrate Judge Jonathan Goodman on 5/30/2025. (mkr) |
