My lawyer is off the case. and the Defendant schedule a hearing, but I am not so sure if I want to proceed with my Quiet Title because I dont have all the documentation needed AS a plaintiff, so I would like to close the case, like that I dont go to the hearing as prosee, and reopen the same case later when I have all the documentation. Can you please let me know if I can do that? thank you for your help. Guillermo

No.  If you don't appear, you will lose by default and will not be able to raise the same issues again.  You may be able to disconinue the case without prejudice before the hearing, but if Florida is the same as New York, you would need the defendant's permission to do so.  Alternatively you can ask the Court to adjourn the case for a time to allow you to obtain the evidence you need.
