April 6, 2026 Opinion or Order Filing 12 PAPERLESS ORDER Requesting Additional Briefing: The Court issues this order sua sponte. The Court is in the midst of deciding Plaintiff's Motion to Remand #8 . In opposition to remand, the Removing Defendants (Vellar Holdings, LLC & Safe Ship Moving Services, LLC) argue they were not required to obtain the consent of Defendant Ver Vanlines, LLC because they were unaware Ver Vanlines, LLC had been served, as Plaintiff had not yet filed a return of service at the time of removal. The case law seems to indicate this makes no difference. "[C]ourts in the Eleventh Circuit have specifically recognized that the fact that the removing defendant was unaware that a defendant had been served does not provide a basis for excusing the removing defendant's failure to obtain consent from that defendant." Rodgers v. Atl. Contracting & Dev. Corp. , No. 2:07-cv-533-FtM-34DNF, 2008 WL 11334891, at *4 (M.D. Fla. Sept. 3, 2008) (collecting cases).
