What does “Motion to Administratively Close File” mean?

I received a copy of a “Motion to Administratively close File”. This was filed by the attorneys of my mortgage company and pertains to my current foreclosure proceedings. I have a court date next month for a hearing on the foreclosure, but received this other motion to close file this week.

It is my understanding that Florida has set up a very detailed program relating to foreclosures and the requirements of mediation, etc., because of the housing crisis.  This motion may be part of that process. Read the affidavit in support of the motion and see what it says.  I think that you should speak with an attorney just to be sure that your rights are protected here and that things are proceeding as they should in your matter.  If you can not afford an attorney then call the State Attorney General's Office on the matter and seek help from them. They will be able to guide you to the right place.  Good luck.
