A: Based on your query about requesting dismissal with prejudice from a Florida case, here are the key steps and considerations:

Understand "Dismissal with Prejudice":

This means the case is dismissed permanently and cannot be refiled.

It's a final judgment on the merits of the case.

Identify Your Role:

If you're the plaintiff, you can file a voluntary dismissal.

If you're the defendant, you typically need to file a motion to dismiss.

Filing Process:

Draft a motion or stipulation for dismissal with prejudice.

Include the case number (1:23-cv-21976) and relevant details.

Clearly state you're requesting dismissal with prejudice.

Consent of Parties:

If all parties agree, file a joint stipulation for dismissal.

If not, you'll need to file a motion and potentially attend a hearing.

Submit to the Court:

File the document with the clerk of the court where the case is pending.

Ensure you follow local court rules for filing procedures.

Serve Other Parties:

Provide copies of the filing to all other parties in the case.

Wait for Court Order:

The judge will review and, if approved, issue an order of dismissal.

Legal Advice:

Consider consulting with a local attorney familiar with Florida court procedures for specific guidance.

Remember, the exact process can vary based on local court rules and the specifics of your case. If you're unsure about any step, it's best to seek legal counsel to ensure you're following proper procedures.
