| 1:25-cv-22951-KMW | 10/09/25 | 10/09/25 | 17 | PAPERLESS ORDER REQUIRING AMENDED COMPLAINT. THIS MATTER is before the Court sua sponte. Upon review of the Complaint, the Court finds that Plaintiff's Complaint constitutes an impermissible shotgun pleading under Weiland v. Palm Beach Cnty. Sheriff's Off., 792 F.3d 1313, 1320 (11th Cir. 2015). Accordingly, it is ORDERED AND ADJUDGED that on or before November 10, 2025, Plaintiff shall file an amended complaint that complies with the pleading requirements of Rules 8(a) and 10(b) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. Each of his claims shall be set forth in a separate, numbered paragraph using short and plain statements, with numbered paragraphs stating the violation as to each defendant, and why the relief requested should be granted. The Court cautions Plaintiff to plead only facts that are tethered to a viable cause of action against each Defendant. The Court also advises the Plaintiff to review the substantive deficiencies identified by Defendants in their Motion to Dismiss (DE [10]) and to make sure all of those defects are properly addressed in his amended pleading to the extent he can, in good faith, set forth facts that state a viable claim for relief. Furthermore, Plaintiff must sufficiently plead that jurisdiction and venue are proper before this Court. Failure to comply with this Order will result in dismissal of this case without further notice. Signed by Judge Kathleen M. Williams on 10/9/2025. (ah06) (Entered: 10/09/25) |

| 1:25-cv-22951-KMW | 06/24/26 | 06/24/26 | 59 | PAPERLESS ORDER granting [49] Defendants' unopposed Motion for Leave to Extend the Time to Depose Plaintiff. Because it appears that the deposition of Plaintiff Humberto Gonzalez Consuegra will require the use of a Spanish-language interpreterand because the Plaintiff has not opposed the Defendants' motion, Defendants are permitted to exceed Fed. R. Civ. P. 30(d)(1)'s limitation of "one day of 7 hours" for the Plaintiff's deposition and may take the deposition ofthe Plaintiff over two days, that is, from June 25 until the conclusion of the deposition on either June 25 or June 26, 2026, as follows: For each 30-minute period in which the deposition requires the use of a Spanish-language interpreter, the Defendants will be allotted an additional 30 minutes of deposition time beyond the 7 hours permitted by Fed. R. Civ. P. 30(d)(1). See Procaps S.A. v. Patheon Inc., No. 12-24356-CIV, 2015 WL 2090401, at *6 (S.D. Fla. May 5, 2015) (applying "rule that the use of an interpreter doubles the deposition time"). In other words, for every hour of deposition requiring the use of an interpreter, Defendants will be deemed to have used only 30 minutes of the seven hours allotted by Fed. R. Civ. P. 30(d)(1).
