                                THIS   MATTER        came   before  the Court   in chambers     on a notice   that this case is at

                       issue pursuant   to Fla. R. Civ.   P. 1.440(a),  and the Court, being     duly advised in the premises

                       and otherwise    familiar with the Court      file,finds that  it is hereby

                      not  yet  complete is not     a suffrcient  reason to avoid setting the case         for trial; rather,  the
