Judge: Kathleen M. Williams
Court: United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida (Broward County)
Plaintiff's Attorney: Scott Hirsch
Defendant's Attorney: Celia Chapman Falzone and Marc Jonathan Gottlieb
Description: Fort Lauderdale, Florida consumer credit lawyer represented Plaintiff who sued Defendant on a Truth in Lending violation theory.
Outcome: 07/28/2023 17 PAPERLESS ORDER DISMISSING AND CLOSING CASE. THIS MATTER is before the Court sua sponte. On May 11, 2023, the Court entered an Order stating that "WITHIN TWENTY (20) DAYS from the date that the last Defendant responds to the Complaint, the Parties shall file a joint conference report and a joint proposed scheduling order, as required by S.D. Fla. Local Rule 16.1(b)." (DE 5 .) The Order also states: "Noncompliance with any provision of this Order, the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, the Local Rules, or this Court's Practices and Procedures may subject the offending party to sanctions, including dismissal of this case. It is the duty of all counsel to take all actions necessary to comply with this Order." See Watts v. Club Madonna, Inc., 784 F. App'x 684 (11th Cir. 2019).
Defendant filed its response to the Complaint on June 29, 2023 (DE 6 ), and therefore the Parties' joint conference report was due by July 19, 2023. To date, the Parties have not filed a joint conference report or a joint proposed scheduling order and have not filed a motion for an extension of time to do so. Accordingly, upon a review of the record, it is ORDERED that this case is DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE. Signed by Judge Kathleen M. Williams on 7/28/2023. (er01) (Entered: 07/28/2023)
