PAPERLESS ORDER. On April 18, 2025, the Plaintiff filed two motions under seal. See [ECF Nos. 6, 7]. Our Local Rules say that any motion (minus a few inapplicable exceptions) "shall be accompanied by a proposed order that is filed and served submitted via e-mail to the Court as prescribed by Section 3I(6) of the CM/ECF Administrative Procedures." S.D. Fla. L.R. 7.1(a)(2). Although the Plaintiff attached proposed orders to both Motions, it never submitted them "via e-mail to the Court[.]" Ibid. We therefore ORDER the Plaintiff to email copies of these proposed orders to our chambers email, altman@flsd.uscourts.gov, by April 22, 2025. If it fails to do so, we'll strike both Motions for noncompliance with our Local Rules. Signed by Judge Roy K. Altman on 4/21/2025.

PAPERLESS ORDER. On May 20, 2025, the Plaintiff served all of the Defendants listed on Schedule "A" of its Complaint. See Proof of Service [ECF No. [34] ]. Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12 provides that a defendant must serve an answer within 21 days after being served with the summons and complaint. The Defendants' responses to the Complaint, therefore, were due on June 20, 2025. Some of the Defendants have appeared and responded to the Complaint, see, e.g., Answers [ECF Nos. [42], [45], [47] ], but the vast majority of Defendants have not, see generally Docket. So, by July 7, 2025, the Plaintiff must do two things: (1) move for Clerk's Entry of Default to begin default final judgment procedures against all remaining, non-appearing Defendants; and (2) file a notice on the docket indicating which Defendants aren't in default and what progress has been made in reaching a resolution with these Defendants. If the Plaintiff fails to comply with this Order, we will dismiss the case without prejudice and without further notice. Signed by Judge Roy K. Altman on 6/24/2025.
