   NOTICE TO LITIGANTS WHO REPRESENT THEMSELVES: The Middle District of Florida provides a Guide for Proceeding Without a Lawyer, available at flmd-guide-for-proceeding-without-a-lawyer.pdf. As indicated in that Guide, "[i]f you miss a deadline, submit a document that is false, make a false statement, disregard a court order, refuse to follow a court rule, or ask for something to which you know you are not entitled, you may lose on that ground alone and the court may impose a fine against you or hold you in contempt." (See Middle District of Florida Guide for Proceeding Without a Lawyer, at p. 5.) It is necessary for you to carefully review, become familiar with, and comply with all applicable procedural rules, including the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and the Local Rules of the Middle District of Florida. If you have not reviewed these rules already, you should do so immediately and the Middle District of Florida Guide for Proceeding Without a Lawyer contains links to those rules. Failure to comply with ANY applicable procedural rule or Court Order is a basis for sanctions, including dismissal of your case. Because your status as a pro se litigant does not excuse you from the requirement to timely comply with Court Orders, it is your responsibility to carefully monitor the docket in this case and ensure that you are prepared to timely comply with Court Orders and deadlines. If you have not done so already, you may consent to receive Notices of Electronic Filing by completing the consent form linked here or by visiting the Middle District of Florida's website at http://www.flmd.uscourts.gov. If you prefer not to represent yourself, the Middle District of Florida Guide for Proceeding Without a Lawyer provides information about alternatives to representing yourself, including phone numbers for Florida Legal Services, the Florida Bar lawyer referral service, and other legal aid organizations. You are responsible for complying with Rule 11 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. Rule 11 states that "[b]y presenting to the court a pleading, written motion, or other paper--whether by signing, filing, submitting, or later advocating it--an attorney or unrepresented party certifies that to the best of the person's knowledge, information, and belief, formed after an inquiry reasonable under the circumstances" various things are true, including that "the claims, defenses, and other legal contentions are warranted by existing law or by a nonfrivolous argument for extending, modifying, or reversing existing law or for establishing new law" and "the factual contentions have evidentiary support or, if specifically so identified, will likely have evidentiary support after a reasonable opportunity for further investigation or discovery." Like a licensed attorney, a pro se litigant should expect to be sanctioned under Rule 11 "[i]f, after notice and a reasonable opportunity to respond, the court determines that Rule 11(b) has been violated." Reliance on artificial intelligence is not an excuse for failure to comply with Rule 11. You should be aware that reliance on artificial intelligence without meticulous verification is likely to result in sanctionable conduct, including citation to rules, cases, and statutes that either do not exist or cannot reasonably be understood to stand for the cited proposition. You must make your own informed decision about whether to use artificial intelligence in this case. Govern yourself accordingly. Signed by Judge Anne-Leigh Gaylord Moe on 9/17/2026. (RMF)
