My jurisdiction is: Florida
I am the defendant in a civil lawsuit (Pro Se) and I am looking for some procedural help. I was served a summons and complaint, and I immediately filed a motion to dismiss based on standing. The motion was denied & the judge ordered the Plaintiff to mail/file the order (on our behalf since we were Pro Se) staing the motion to dismiss was denied and we have 20 days to file the answer to the complaint. The plaintiff never sent us the order on behalf of the court, however, we now received a motion for summary judgment instead. We are still in the "time frame" to file the answer. Should we file the answer at this point or should we file a motion (compel,sanctions, etc.) since they didn't follow judge orders?
