STATE FARM MUTUAL
AUTOMOBILE INSURANCE
Defendant.

ORDER
This matter is before the Court on Defendant’s motions to abate Count II and to strike the
claim for fees in Count I. (Docs. 4, 5). Both of the motions were filed in state court before this
action was removed, and neither motion complies with the requirements of the Local Rules for the
Middle District of Florida. See e.g., L. R. 3.01(a) (every motion shall include a memorandum of
legal authority); and L. R. 3.01(g) (requiring certification that the parties have conferred in a good
faith effort to resolve issue prior to filing motion). Accordingly, Defendant’s motions (Docs. 4 &
5) are due to be denied without prejudice.
DONE and ORDERED in Ocala, Florida on April 17, 2017.
