v.

FERGUSON ENTERPRISES, LLC

2. Plaintiff's pro se filings seeking the withdrawal of Attorney Cartelli (Doc. Nos. 14, 25) are DENIED as moot.

3. Plaintiff's oral motion to receive case notifications via email (Doc. No. 34) is GRANTED. See Moore v. Adventist Health Sys. Sunbelt Healthcare Corp., No. 6:23-cv-1163-PGB-DCI, 2023 WL 4947933, at *1 (M.D. Fla. Aug. 3, 2023). [fn 1] The Clerk of Court is directed to add Plaintiff's email address, [email protected], to CM/ECF and ensure that Plaintiff receives Notices of Electronic Filings. The Court also notes Plaintiff's consent to service by email of all court documents going forward from Defendant. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 5(b)(2)(E), (F).

4. Plaintiff's oral motion for an extension of time to serve her mandatory initial disclosures (Doc. No. 35), see Doc. No. 12, at 1, is GRANTED. The parties shall have thirty (30) days from the date of this Order to serve their mandatory initial disclosures.

5. Within fourteen (14) days of the date of this Order, the parties shall file a joint notice regarding mediation, setting forth the mediator for this case, as well as the date, time, and location of the parties' mediation. [fn 2]

6. No other deadlines are extended by this Order. See Doc. No. 12, at 1-2.

As noted above, with Attorney Cartelli's withdrawal, Plaintiff will be without legal counsel. Unless and until new counsel enters an appearance on her behalf, Plaintiff will be responsible for representing herself as an individual in this lawsuit. This requires Plaintiff to review the docket in this case and abide by all orders and deadlines set forth therein, and in particular, the Court directs Plaintiff's attention to the Case Management and Scheduling Order entered on March 20, 2025. See Doc. No. 15. See also Moon v. Newsome, 863 F. 2d 835, 837 (11th Cir. 1989), cert. denied, 493 U.S. 863 (1989) (pro se litigants are “subject to the relevant law and rules of court, including the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure"). Plaintiff may view the docket in this case at any United States District Courthouse in the Middle District of Florida. Alternatively, she may create an account on pacer.gov to view the docket from any personal computer.

Because Plaintiff will be responsible for representing herself unless and until new counsel enters an appearance on her behalf, the Court directs her attention to the Court's website, http://www.flmd.uscourts.gov. On the Court's homepage, Plaintiff can find basic information and resources for parties who are proceeding without a lawyer in a civil case by clicking on the “For Litigants" tab and then selecting "Litigants without Lawyers." Plaintiff is cautioned that failure to comply with the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, the Local Rules of this Court, or Court Orders may result in sanctions, up to and including dismissal of this case.

The Clerk of Court is DIRECTED to mail a copy of this Order to Plaintiff.

DONE and ORDERED in Orlando, Florida on April 25, 2025.
