Benjamin Joseph Ligieri v. Amazon.com, Inc.

Summary

The United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida grants Plaintiff Benjamin Joseph Ligieri an extension to file an amended complaint after finding excusable neglect sufficiently supported in light of his pro se status and stated circumstances. The Court denies the remaining requests concerning a temporary restraining order, preliminary injunction, CM/ECF access, and affirmative relief related to a pending motion to transfer.

Holdings

1. The Court extended the November 30, 2025 deadline and granted Plaintiff leave to file an amended complaint within fourteen days of the order.
2. The Court denied the request to consider the renewed temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction at this stage, explaining that Plaintiff could renew the request after filing the amended complaint and did not require leave of Court merely to file such a renewed motion.
3. The Court denied Plaintiff's renewed request for authorization to file through CM/ECF because the motion again failed to establish good cause or extenuating circumstances.
4. The Court denied Defendant's request for affirmative transfer relief because affirmative relief should not be sought in a response to a motion and because the motion to transfer remained pending before the presiding district judge.

Questions Presented

1. Whether Plaintiff should receive an extension of the deadline to file an amended complaint after missing the Court-ordered deadline.
2. Whether the Court should consider Plaintiff's renewed request for a temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction.
3. Whether Plaintiff established good cause or extenuating circumstances warranting access to CM/ECF.
4. Whether the Court should grant Defendant's requested transfer relief in response to Plaintiff's motion.
