This case is currently calendared for trial at the Session of the Court commencing on January 29, 2024, in Tampa, Florida. On December 14, 2023, pursuant to the Court's Standing Pretrial Order served on the parties on September 13, 2023, respondent's counsel filed a Status Report, apprising the Court of the then present status of this case.
