77 77 order Order on Motion for Sanctions Thu 11/16 6:46 PM
PAPERLESS ORDER denying 71 the Defendant's Motion for Sanctions. The Court needs time to adjudicate70 the pending Motion to Dismiss. We recognize that the Defendant "asks the Court, as a Rule 11 sanction, to strike...false allegations, and/or to take judicial notice of the relevant portions of the discovery record, when ruling on BKC's motion to dismiss the SAC." Motion for Sanctions at 8. But "[c]ourts normally consider Rule 11 motions attacking pleadings at the end of litigation." E-Z Dock, Inc. v. Snap Dock, LLC , 2021 WL 4050951, at *1 (M.D. Fla. Aug. 31, 2021) (Chappell, J.) (denying motion for sanctions as "premature" because "E-Z Dock's claims are not so patently frivolous that the [c]ourt should consider sanctions at this stage"); Nutramax Labs., Inc. v. Zesty Paws LLC , 2023 WL 4493960, at *2 (M.D. Fla. May 24, 2023) (Hoffman Price, Mag. J.) (denying motion for sanctions without prejudice because "most of [d]efendants' arguments for sanctions under Rule 11 seek to test the veracity, substance, or merits of the allegations of the third amended complaint"). In this case, we'll allow the Defendant to re-file its Motion for Sanctions after we adjudicate the pending Motion to Dismiss. One more thing: The Defendant has complied with the "Safe Harbor" provision of Rule 11(c)(2) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and thus need not submit a second "Safe Harbor" letter before refiling its Motion for Sanctions. Signed by Judge Roy K. Altman on 11/16/2023. (lcr)
