Defendant.

ORDER
THIS CAUSE comes before the Court upon the Plaintiff Jack C. Hollingsworth’s
Motion to Extend Time (Dkt. #12), Plaintiff Harold Henderson’s Notice to the Court (Dkt.
#13), Plaintiff Errol Atkinson’s Motion to Stay (Dkt. #15). This Court entered an Order,
Dkt. # 11, requiring the Plaintiffs to inform the Court of their intention to retain new
counsel to prosecute this case in light of the Preliminary Injunction against the law firm of
the counsel of record, The Hoffman Law Group, in the case styled Consumer Financial
Protection Bureau, et al. v. Michael Harper, et al., case no. 14-CV-80931, United States
District Court, Southern District of Florida. Plaintiff Jack C. Hollingsworth filed a timely
Motion requesting additional time to retain new counsel and explaining his current efforts

to retain counsel. Plaintiff Harold Henderson also filed a notice, through counsel, indicating
that he intends to pursue this lawsuit. Henderson’s counsel indicated that the notice would
not serve as an appearance in this matter. Plaintiff Errol Atkinson indicated that he intends
to represent himself, but would like the Court to extend the stay.
Upon review and consideration, it is therefore ORDERED AND ADJUDGED that
the Plaintiff Jack C. Hollingsworth’s Motion to Extend Time (Dkt. #12) and Plaintiff Errol
Atkinson’s Motion to Stay (Dkt. #15) are GRANTED. The stay of this action is extended
until February 19, 2015, to permit Plaintiffs additional time to seek new counsel. Plaintiffs
shall file a report or alternatively, direct their new counsel to file an appearance, on or
before February 19, 2015. Failure to do so may result in the Court dismissing the case
without prejudice and without further notice to the Plaintiffs.
DONE and ORDERED in Tampa, Florida, this 23rd day of December, 2014.
