A scheduling order has been set in our class action lawsuit challenging the recently enacted Putnam County Ordinance that precludes two registrants from living within 500 feet of one another (among other things). The schedule is below:

Moving for class certification due by 12/21/2026

Jury Trial set for trial term commencing 1/3/2028 at 9:00 AM in Jacksonville Courtroom 10 A before Judge Jordan Emery Pratt.

While the trial date may seem a bit far off, remember that this is Federal litigation, a class action and there is always the opportunity to resolve the litigation through mediation or other dispositive motions.
