9:25-cv-81147-BER04/13/2604/13/2637PAPERLESS ORDER denying without prejudice [34] and striking [35]: Defendant has failed to comply with Southern District of Florida Local Rule 56.1 which requires that a motion for summary judgment be "accompanied by a separate and contemporaneously filed and served Statement of Material Facts... [a]ll Statements of Material Facts (whether filed by the movant or by the opponent) shall be filed and served as separate documents and not as exhibits or attachments." Therefore, because Defendant does not file a separate Statement of Material Facts or a separate responsive Statement of Material Facts and includes them as attachments to the underlying motion and response, Defendant's Motion for Summary Judgment [DE 34] is DENIED without prejudice and the Court will STRIKE Defendant's response to Plaintiff's Motion for Summary Judgment [DE 35]. Defendant shall file a corrected response and separate responsive Statement of Material Facts to Plaintiff's Motion for Summary Judgment [DE 32] by April 15, 2026. Defendant may file a corrected motion for summary judgment by the same deadline as well. Signed by Ch. Magistrate Judge William Matthewman on 4/13/2026. (nrs) (Entered: 04/13/26)

9:25-cv-81147-BER04/27/2604/27/2648PAPERLESS ORDER: The Court has carefully reviewed Plaintiff's Emergency Motion for Preliminary Injunction Pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 65 [DE 43]. Plaintiff claims that "[d]ue to Plaintiff's lack of income and ongoing financial hardship, Plaintiff respectfully requests expedited consideration of this Motion." However, the Motion is not a true emergency pursuant to S.D. Fla. L.R. 7.1(d)(1). Here, Plaintiff has not provided a sufficient factual basis regarding the emergency anddoes not state when a ruling is needed. Further, Plaintiff's ongoing financial hardship has allegedly been occurring since the inception of this case, thus mitigating any emergency status. Thus, the Motion [DE 43] is DENIED as an emergency. TheMotion will be ruled upon in due course. Signed by Ch. Magistrate Judge William Matthewman on 4/27/2026. (nrs) (Entered: 04/27/26)

9:25-cv-81147-BER05/08/2605/08/2660PAPERLESS ORDER denying [59] Renewed Motion to Appoint Mediator. The Court does not find good cause to waive mediation fees for Plaintiff. The Plaintiff brought this action in federal court and she must pay her portion of any mediation costs and expenses. However, the parties may jointly and promptly request a settlement conference before a U.S. Magistrate Judge, for which there is no charge. If that request is timely made, the Court will consider allowing the parties to attend a settlement conference before another U.S. Magistrate Judge in lieu of private mediation. But Plaintiff is once again advised that the Court cannot provide her an interpreter in this civil matter, and she needs to obtain and pay for an interpreter at any settlementconference, mediation, or court hearing.

9:25-cv-81147-BER05/12/2605/12/2663PAPERLESS ORDER denying [62] Motion for Reconsideration. "A motion to reconsider should not be used as a vehicle 'to relitigate old matters, raise argument or present evidence that could have been raised prior to the entry of judgment.'" Morales v. Charlotte Corr. Inst., No. 18-22787-CV, 2023 WL 5593375, at *2 (S.D. Fla. May 4, 2023) (citing Michael Linet, Inc. v. Vill. of Wellington, Fla., 408 F.3d 757, 763 (11th Cir. 2005)). Plaintiff's Motion [DE 62] improperly presents evidence and arguments that Plaintiff could have initially argued, but didn't, and inappropriately relegates matters already decided by the Court. See DE 61. Again, Plaintiff fails to meet her burden, and this matter does not warrant an extraordinary and drastic remedy. Signed by Ch. Magistrate Judge William Matthewman on 5/12/2026.

9:25-cv-81147-BER05/12/2605/12/2664NOTICE of Compliance with Court Ordered Mediation by Andrew De Los Santos re [27] Scheduling Order,, (Mulder, Kyndra) (Entered: 05/12/26)
9:25-cv-81147-BER05/14/2605/14/2665PAPERLESS ORDER REQUIRING THE PARTIES TO PROMPTLY MEDIATE OR REQUEST AND ATTEND A SETTLEMENT CONFERENCE: The Court has reviewed Defendant's Notice [DE 64], which states that Plaintiff did not attend mediation. Attending and participating in mediation is a requirement per Court Order, not an option. Given that the mediation was apparently noticed only two days before the date of the mediation and Plaintiff filed motions indicating that she could not pay for the mediation, the Court will give the parties one more chance to mediate or attend a settlement conference. Therefore, by May 18, 2026, the parties shall either jointly file a notice of mediation, scheduling a new, prompt mediation agreeable to both parties, or the parties shall jointly request a settlement conference with a U.S. Magistrate Judge. As previously stated by the Court, Plaintiff is required to provide an interpreter at her sole expense, and the Court will not provide her one. If no mediation is scheduled or a settlement conference is not requested by May 18, 2026, the Court shall consider dismissing this case without prejudice for the failure to comply with Court Orders to attend mediation or a settlement conference. Signed by Ch. Magistrate Judge William Matthewman on 5/14/2026. (nrs) (Entered: 05/14/26)
