PAPERLESS ORDER STRIKING the Emergency designation of 9 MOTION to Expedite MOTION EMERGENCY Motion to Expedite Adjudication, Request for Status, Supplemental Constitutional Argument, and Request for Immediate Release. Although Petitioner complied with the requirement to title the motion as an "Emergency Motion," Petitioner failed to (1) certify that the Motion presents a true emergency requiring an immediate ruling because meaningful relief could not be provided after seven days, (2) specify the date by which a ruling is necessary, and (3) explain why a ruling is needed by the stated date. See S.D. Fla. L.R. 7.1(d)(1). Accordingly, the Clerk is DIRECTED to STRIKE the Emergency designation of 9 MOTION to Expedite MOTION EMERGENCY Motion to Expedite Adjudication, Request for Status, Supplemental Constitutional Argument, and Request for Immediate Release. The Motion itself shall remain pending. The Court also notes that Petitioner failed to include his signature on the Motion, as required by Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(a), and reminds Petitioner that he must comply with all Court rules despite his pro se status. See Moon v. Newsome, 863 F.2d 835, 837 (11th Cir. 1989) (noting that pro se litigants are "subject to the relevant law and rules of court, including the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure"). Signed by Judge Darrin P. Gayles on 5/19/2026. (bhn) (Entered: 05/19/2026)
