ENDORSED ORDER: The pro se plaintiff's motion (Doc. 2) for a temporary restraining order is DENIED for failure to comply with the Local Rules, including Local Rule 1.08 and Local Rule 6.01(a). Litigation in federal court (and especially patent litigation) is difficult and requires timely compliance with applicable rules, including the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, the Local Rules, the Federal Rules of Evidence, and several procedural, discovery, and other orders. A judge cannot assist a party, even a pro se party, in conducting an action. Therefore, Hammond is strongly advised to obtain legal advice and assistance--preferably full representation--from a member of The Florida Bar. To the extent she intends to continue to represent herself in this action, Hammond should familiarize herself with both the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure at https://www.uscourts.gov/forms-rules/current-rules-practice-procedure/federal-rules-civil-procedure and the Local Rules for the Middle District of Florida at https://www.flmd.uscourts.gov/local-rules, a copy of each of which is available in the clerk's office on the second floor of the Sam M. Gibbons United States Court-house, 801 North Florida Avenue, Tampa, Florida. Also, Hammond can consult the "Litigants Without Lawyers" guide at https://www.flmd.uscourts.gov/litigants-without-lawyers. Signed by Senior District Judge Steven D. Merryday on 4/9/2026.
