*Excellent Trial Opportunity*
Plaintiff, a pro se prisoner, is proceeding on a Complaint, in which he alleged that Defendant violated the Religious Land Use Institutionalized Persons Act (“RLUIPA”). Plaintiff alleges he is a Muslim who has a religious obligation to grow his beard to a minimum of fist length. He contends that it is Defendant’s policy that Plaintiff cannot grow his beard freely (or at minimum fist length) as required by his religion. Plaintiff claims the current policy requires forcible trimming of his face or head to comply with regulations. As relief, Plaintiff seeks to compel Defendant to exempt him from the grooming policy and allow him to freely grow his beard, or at a minimum grow a fist length beard, trim his mustache and maintain his beard. Plaintiff also seeks the reimbursement of all filing fees associated with this Complaint. Recently, the Court denied cross summary judgment motions. The case is currently trial ready.

Pro se Plaintiff Joseph Favors brings a products liability claim related to the sale and marketing of Zantac, generically known as ranitidine. This case is related to the multidistrict litigation (the “MDL”) In re Zantac (Ranitidine), 20-MD-2924. As part of the MDL, the Court previously entered an Omnibus Order granting the pharmaceutical Defendants’ Daubert Motions on general causation and their Motion for Summary Judgment. 20-MD-2924, DE 6120. The Court subsequently ordered plaintiffs to proceed through a show cause process as to why the Court’s Omnibus Order did not apply to their case. 20-MD-2924, DE 6271 (“Pretrial Order 81”). As part of that process, plaintiffs were first required to file a notice of each claim they sought to pursue and certify their intent to provide general causation expert reports in support of those claims. Id. Plaintiff, here, has provided such a notice. Thus, his next step is to serve a general causation expert report on Defendant and file a notice listing all experts for whom Plaintiff has provided a report. Per the Court’s most recent order, Plaintiff has until November 4, 2025, to do so. 21-cv-81180, DE 27. Upon Plaintiff’s motion, his case was referred to the Volunteer Attorney Program for voluntary, pro bono assistance with this requirement. If interested, please email FLSD_ProBono@flsd.uscourts.gov
