Plaintiffs,

ORDER (And Direction to Clerk)

This cause comes before the Court on an Unopposed Renewed Motion to Withdraw (Doc. No. 40), which seeks the withdrawal of Attorney Naphtalie Azor, Esq., as counsel for Plaintiffs, and following a hearing on the motion, held today (Doc. Nos. 41, 45). Counsel for all parties were present at the hearing, as were Plaintiffs Rosa Wise and Brionna Bobb. For reasons discussed at the hearing, part of which was held in camera, the motion (Doc. No. 40) is GRANTED in part, to the extent the motion seeks withdrawal of Attorney Azor, and DENIED without prejudice in part, to the extent the motion seeks a stay. Accordingly, it is ORDERED as follows:

1. Attorney Azor is TERMINATED as counsel for Plaintiffs. With counsel’s withdrawal, Plaintiffs will be without legal counsel. Unless and until new counsel enters an appearance on their behalf, Plaintiffs will be

responsible for representing themselves in this lawsuit.1 This requires Plaintiffs to review the docket in this case and abide by all orders and deadlines set forth therein. See Moon v. Newsome, 863 F.2d 835, 837 (11th Cir. 1989), cert. denied, 493 U.S. 863 (1989) (pro se litigants are “subject to the

relevant law and rules of court, including the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure”). In particular, the Court directs Plaintiffs’ attention to the Case Management and Scheduling Order entered on November 5, 2025. See Doc.

No. 34. Plaintiffs may view the docket in this case at any United States District Courthouse in the Middle District of Florida. Alternatively, they may create an account on pacer.gov to view the docket from any personal

computer. 2. Because Plaintiffs will be responsible for representing themselves unless and until new counsel enters an appearance on their behalf, the Court

1 Ms. Wise is permitted to proceed pro se as the executor of the Estate of Jayvion Marquise Barthel, as there are no other beneficiaries and/or creditors of the estate. See Iriele v. Griffin, 65 F.4th 1280, 1285 (11th Cir. 2023). also directs their attention to the Court’s website, http://www.flmd.uscourts.gov. On the Court’s homepage, Plaintiffs can

find basic information and resources for parties who are proceeding without a lawyer in a civil case by clicking on the “For Litigants” tab and then selecting “Litigants without Lawyers.” Plaintiffs are cautioned that failure

to comply with the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, the Local Rules of this Court, or Court Orders may result in sanctions. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 16(f). 3. The Clerk of Court is DIRECTED to reflect the following contact information for Plaintiffs on the docket:

Sunbelt Healthcare Corp., No. 6:23-cv-1163-PGB-DCI, 2023 WL 4947933, at *1 (M.D. Fla. Aug. 3, 2023) (“[T]he Court in its discretion may grant a pro se party permission to receive electronic notifications.”).
