PAPERLESS ORDER REGARDING NONCOMPLIANCE WITH DEADLINE. On July 2, 2026, I entered an Order requiring the Parties to file appropriate closing documents by July 13, 2026. (DE 37 ). To date, the Parties have failed to timely file their stipulation of dismissal, nor have they sought an extension of time to do so. Litigants' failure to comply with an order is a matter that the court takes seriously. In the interest of efficiency, I will sua sponte extend this deadline to July 21, 2026. The Parties must timely file their stipulation of dismissal by this date or they will be required to show cause. Signed by Judge Donald M. Middlebrooks on 7/15/2026. (kid)

| Filing 35 PAPERLESS ORDER: On May 12, 2026, Defendant filed two #22 #23 motions to compel discovery ("Motions"). Plaintiff did not timely respond. Based on representations in the parties' #29 Joint Discovery Plan, filed on June 2, 2026, I ordered the parties to file a joint status report stating whether any disputes as to the Motions remained, and, if so, whether the scope of the disputes had been narrowed. See DE 31. The parties filed the required #33 status report on June 10, 2026. This report states that though some disputes raised by the Motions have been resolved, Plaintiff served supplemental discovery responses that "created new issues," and Defendant is still in the process of reviewing Plaintiff's supplemental production. DE #33 at 1-2. Defendant requests oral argument on the Motions. Id. at 33. In light of the status report's representations that the scope of the disputes raised in the Motions has changed, including through the appearance of new issues that have not been briefed, Defendant's #22 #23 Motions are DENIED WITHOUT PREJUDICE. Defendant may file new motions to compel that outline the issues as they stand based on Plaintiff's supplemental responses and production. Defendant may renew its request for a hearing in any newly filed motions. Further, Plaintiff is cautioned that failure to respond to any newly filed motions may result in the Court granting the motions by default. S.D. Fla. L.R. 7.1(c)(1). Signed by U.S. Magistrate Judge Shaniek Mills Maynard on 6/25/2026. (hrn) |
| Filing 34 PAPERLESS ORDER RESETTING SETTLEMENT CONFERENCE: To accommodate a change in the Court's schedule, the settlement conference in this matter shall be reset for 2:00 P.M. on WEDNESDAY, JULY 1, 2026, before me.
