"Don't hide the ball. Don't ignore the overwhelming weight of persuasive authority as if it won't be found. And don't send a sacrificial lamb to stand before this Court with a fistful of cases that don't apply and no cogent argument for why they should," reads the order, penned by U.S. District Judge Roy B. Dalton for the Middle District of Florida.
