ORDER ON PLAINTIFF’S MOTION FOR EXTENSION OFTIME TO RESPOND TO PROPOSAL FOR SETTLEMENT
THIS CAUSE having come before the Court on May 8, 2015, on the Plaintiff’s Motion for Extension of Time to Respond to Proposal for Settlement, bearing certificate of service date July 18, 2014, and the Court having heard argument of counsel, reviewed the file, and been advised in the premises, the Court reasons that the purpose of Fla.

ORDERED AND ADJUDGED that Plaintiff’s Motion
