Venable et al v. Royal Caribbean Cruises LTD. (26-cv-25623-Lauren Fleischer Louis) Posted 10/01/2026

Plaintiffs were cruise ship passengers onboard a vessel operated by Royal Caribbean Cruises, Ltd. Plaintiffs allege that during the cruise, J.A.V., a minor, struck his head and ear on a store display and suffered a fall. Because J.A.V. is a minor, Plaintiffs cannot represent him pro se. Plaintiff Gamze Venable also seeks damages following a hospitalization for Influenza B and community-acquired pneumonia which she alleges was caused by an unheated stateroom. Defendant has not yet been served. Volunteer representation would entail representing Plaintiffs during all pretrial proceedings, including discovery, mediation, motions for summary judgment, and trial.

United States of America v. Power (26-CV-62030-Rodney Smith) Posted 08/27/2026

Defendant seeks an attorney to represent her. The United States has filed an action to revoke Defendant’s naturalized U.S. citizenship. The U.S. alleges that, before Defendant became a naturalized U.S. citizen, she engaged in criminal activity that she concealed throughout the naturalization process and that disqualified her from U.S. citizenship. The U.S. seeks to denaturalize Defendant on three grounds:

(1) she illegally procured her U.S. citizenship because she committed an unlawful act during the statutory period before she naturalized that precluded her from demonstrating the requisite good moral character;
(2) she illegally procured her U.S. citizenship because she provided false testimony at her naturalization interview, which also precluded her from demonstrating the requisite good moral character; and
(3) she concealed and willfully misrepresented her unlawful acts, which adversely reflect on her moral character, throughout the naturalization proceedings. The case is at a very early stage. Representation would entail representing Defendant during all pretrial proceedings, including discovery and dispositive motions, and during trial, if necessary.
