Consistent with Local Rule 15.1, the Plaintiff must separately refile his second amended complaint by September 29, 2015 . The Court admonishes Plaintiff's counsel for failing to comply with Local Rule 7.1(a)(3). That Rule requires an attorney filing a motion in a civil case to first confer with opposing counsel in a good-faith effort to resolve by agreement the issues raised in the motion. The filing attorney must then include in the motion a statement explaining to the Court that (1) all or some of the issues raised in the motion are unopposed; (2) counsel conferred but could not agree on all or some of the issues raised in the motion; or (3) counsel diligently attempted to confer but was unable to reach the opposing counsel. S.D. Fla. L.R. 7.1(a)(3). "Local Rule 7.1 serves the purpose not only of attempting to avoid unnecessary expenditure of judicial resources resolving motions that are not opposed, but also to allow the Court to ascertain whether it should wait for a response from the opposing party before deciding the motion."
