UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
MIDDLE DISTRICT OF FLORIDA
FORT MYERS DIVISION
BRADLEY CRAMER,
Plaintiff,
v.

Case No: 2:17-cv-642-FtM-99MRM

ALYSSA L. WILLIS,
Defendant.
/
ORDER1
This matter comes before the Court on review of Plaintiff’s “Complaint” (Doc. 15)
and Certificate of Service (Doc. 16) filed on December 4, 2017.

As Plaintiff’s first

Complaint was dismissed without prejudice (Doc. 14), the Court construes the filing as an
Amended Complaint2 and will direct the Clerk to correct the docket to reflect this. The
Court also notes the Amended Complaint was filed nearly a week after the Court-imposed
deadline. Plaintiff is warned the Court’s orders are not mere suggestions and the Court
expects strict compliance moving forward or this case will be dismissed.
The Court further notes the Certificate of Service (Doc. 16) states the Amended
Complaint was served via mail on Defendant Alyssa L. Willis. Ms. Willis is represented
by counsel; therefore, any filings must be sent to her attorney. Therefore, the Court will
strike the Certificate of Service.

The Court is satisfied at this point that diversity jurisdiction is properly pled.

Finally, Plaintiff’s counsel is informed that any future filings must include a full
signature block as required by this Court’s local rules. See M.D. Fla. R. 1.06(d), Form of
Pleadings, General Requirements.
Accordingly, it is now
ORDERED:
(1)

The Clerk is directed to edit Doc. 15 to state that it is an “Amended

Complaint.”
(2)

The Certificate of Service (Doc. 16) is STRICKEN. The Clerk is directed to

make a notation on the docket that this entry is stricken.
DONE and ORDERED in Fort Myers, Florida this 5th day of December, 2017.
