ORDER

THIS CAUSE is before the Court pursuant to Plaintiff's Motion for Clarification and/or for More Definite Statement [DE 20], filed in conjunction with her Opposition to Defendant's Second Motion to Dismiss [DE 19]. The District Court has referred all pretrial matters to the undersigned for appropriate disposition in accordance with 28 U.S.C. § 636(b) and the Magistrate Rules of the Local Rules of the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida [DE 6].

In her Motion for Clarification, as amplified in her Reply Motion for Clarification and/or More Definite Statement [DE 25], Plaintiff takes issue with facts alleged and with facts omitted from Defendant's Answer and Affirmative Defenses to First Amended Complaint [DE 15]. Plaintiff disputes the facts as related in Defendant's Answer and Affirmative Defenses, as well as arguments made in Defendant's Motion to Strike and Motion to Dismiss [DE 14]. Plaintiff has a different view from Defendant of what facts are relevant and what conclusions can be drawn from those facts. Such is the nature of litigation. However, this is not a basis for clarification or a more definite statement. The relevancy and weight of evidence will be evaluated at different stages of the proceeding. The Court cannot grant the relief Plaintiff seeks in the present motion. Accordingly, it is hereby

ORDERED AND ADJUDGED that Plaintiff's Motion for Clarification and/or for More Definite Statement [DE 20] is DENIED.
