Order (Closing Ida MMA Cases)

ORDER: General Order 2023-12 allowed attorneys to file certain hurricane or storm-related lawsuits with an opportunity to conduct their Rule 11 investigation into the validity of those claims within a 120-day period after filing the action. As the post-filing investigatory period closes for most of those cases, the Court is receiving a number of motions seeking dismissal of these actions based on a few general grounds. The appropriate manner to deal with the listed scenarios can be found within the attached document. The Clerk of Court shall file the instant Order in each case referenced in Attachment A.
