| 2024-03-28 | 27 | PAPERLESS ORDER denying 26 the Plaintiff's Motion to Reopen Case. On February 6, 2024, we stayed this case while the parties determined whether it had become moot. See Paperless Order Granting Stay [ECF No. 25]. In his Motion, Michael T. Rand, our pro se Plaintiff, informs us that the Defendants' response to his FOIA request was "unsatisfactory." Motion at 2. Rand now seeks to reopen this case so the "district court [can] conduct a de novo review of the government's decision to withhold requested documents under any of FOIA's specific statutory exemptions." Ibid. (citing 5 U.S.C. § 552(a)(4)(B)). Rand, however, did not confer with opposing counsel before filing this motion, as he was required to do by our local rules. See S.D. Fla. L.R. 7.1(a)(3) ("Prior to filing any motion in a civil case . . . counsel for the movant shall confer (orally or in writing), or make reasonable effort to confer (orally or in writing), with all parties or non-parties who may be affected by the relief sought in the motion in a good faith effort to resolve by agreement the issues to be raised in the motion."); Castilla v. Nat'l Union Fire Ins. Co. of Pittsburgh, Pa. , 2021 WL 1409648, at *2 (S.D. Fla. Apr. 23, 2012) ("Before filing any motion[,] . . . whether pro se or through counsel, Plaintiff shall confer properly with Defendant's counsel."); see generally Motion (failing to certify conferral). We'll therefore DENY the Plaintiff's Motion to Reopen Case and ORDER the parties to file a Joint Status Report identifying any outstanding issues in this case by April 8, 2024 . In the meantime, this case shall remain CLOSED for administrative purposes. Signed by Judge Roy K. Altman on 3/28/2024. (rco) Signed by Judge Roy K. Altman on 3/28/2024.
