Ms. Gonzalez did file a response with the Court.
This case was called from the calendar on May 6, 2024, at the Tampa, Florida Trial Session of the Court. There was no appearance by Ms. Gonzalez or anyone on her behalf. Counsel for the Commissioner appeared and was heard. The case was set for recall the next day.
