Date Filed Document Text
July 16, 2025 Opinion or Order Filing 24 ORDER CLOSING CASE. Plaintiff's claims in the above-styled action are DISMISSED with prejudice. Signed by Judge Donald M. Middlebrooks on 7/16/2025. See attached document for full details. (gqa)
July 15, 2025 Filing 23 NOTICE of Voluntary Dismissal by Aishia Petersen (Attachments: #1 Text of Proposed Order) (Barros, Acacia)
June 25, 2025 Opinion or Order Filing 22 PAPERLESS ORDER granting in part #21 Motion for Extension of Time. Plaintiff seeks to extend the deadline to file closing documents by 20 days. In support, Plaintiff states only that the Parties are still finalizing the terms of their agreement, and require additional time. Motions for Extension of Time must demonstrate good cause supported by specific facts. The Motion is not well-supported, nor is it apparent that adequate attempts at conferral were made prior to its filing. S.D. Fla. Local Rule 7.1(a)(2). Further, the Motion comes after I have already extended the closing deadline sua sponte, after the Parties failed to observe the original deadline of June 14, 2025. (DE #20 ). In the interest of efficiency, I will afford one more brief delay. If the Parties do not file closing documents on or by July 1, 2025, they will be expected to abide by the deadlines set forth in the ADA Scheduling Order to continue litigating this case. As the next deadline, to complete mediation, is currently set for June 26, 2025, I will extend that deadline sua sponte to July 2, 2025. Signed by Judge Donald M. Middlebrooks on 6/25/2025. (sm01)

June 4, 2025 Opinion or Order Filing 19 PAPERLESS ORDER SETTING DEADLINE TO FILE CLOSING DOCUMENTS. The Parties notified the Court that they have settled this matter (DE #18 ), and the Court congratulates them on reaching an amicable resolution of this case. The Parties' request for 60 days to file closing documents is denied, as no good cause for such a delay is set forth in the Notice and I do not view a pending settlement as grounds to stay ongoing litigation. Until appropriate closing documents are filed, the Court will expect compliance with all pretrial deadlines. The Parties shall file appropriate closing documents within 10 days, or no later than June 14, 2025. Signed by Judge Donald M. Middlebrooks on 6/4/2025. (sm01)
