UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
MIDDLE DISTRICT OF FLORIDA
ORLANDO DIVISION

MICHAEL J. FLYNN; and LUCILLE
CASAGRANDE FLYNN,
Plaintiffs,
v.

Case No. 6:16-mc-25-Orl-37TBS

SQUARE ONE DISTRIBUTION, INC.,
Defendant.

ORDER
This cause is before the Court sua sponte. The Court has discovered on its own
review that this action has been settled in full, thereby mooting the pending matters before
the Court. See Flynn v. Square One Distribution, Inc., 1:15-cv-23762-KMW (S.D. Fla.
Oct. 8, 2015), Docs. 53–55. 1
The parties apparently resolved this action on June 16, 2016. If so, by failing to
notify this Court of the resolution, they have wasted judicial resources as this Court
considered the pending Objections to the Magistrate Judge’s Report & Recommendation.
Indeed, the failure to notify the Court of the settlement constitutes a violation of the Court’s
Local Rules, see Local Rule 3.08(a), potentially warranting imposition of sanctions.

1

The underlying action (“Underlying Action”) is in the U.S. District Court for the
Southern District of Florida. The instant miscellaneous action before this Court was
initiated by the filing of a motion to quash a non-party subpoena that was issued in the
Underlying Action. (Doc. 1.)

On or before Wednesday, June 29, 2016, the parties are DIRECTED to file a joint
status report indicating whether this action can be dismissed and closed and why the
Court should not impose sanctions for failure to comply with the Local Rules.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
DONE AND ORDERED in Chambers in Orlando, Florida, on June 27, 2016.
