United States ex rel. Florida ex rel. Mercer v. Dr. Stephen Laquis, Nicole Laquis, Ophthalmic Facial Plastic Surgery Specialists, P.A.

DOUGLAS N. FRAZIER UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE

REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION

On November 20, 2014, the Court entered an Amended Order (Doc. 58) permitting counsel for Relator Charlynn Mercer to withdraw and requiring Ms. Mercer to secure replacement counsel within twenty-one (21) days. The Amended Order specified that if Ms. Mercer failed to secure replacement counsel within that time period, the Court would recommend that her case be dismissed. The twenty-one day time period elapsed and Ms. Mercer failed to have new counsel file a notice of appearance.

On January 16, 2015, the Court entered an Order to Show Cause (Doc. 59) requiring Ms. Mercer to show good cause in writing within fourteen (14) days explaining why the case should not be dismissed for her failure to comply with the Court's Amended Order. Fourteen days has elapsed since the Court entered the Order to Show Cause and Ms. Mercer has failed to file a response. For this reason,

IT IS RESPECTFULLY RECOMMENDED THAT

The District Court dismiss this case, terminate all pending motions, and close the file.

Respectfully recommended in Chambers in Fort Myers, Florida on February 9, 2015.
