___________________________________/
ORDER
This matter comes before the Court on Plaintiff's Motion to Compel Defendants for
Production of All True Documents, Answers to QWR and Admissions as Requested Per Exhibits
(Doc. #5) filed on September 6, 2012. Plaintiff requests that this Court direct Defendants to
produce documents and answers to provide and establish their claim. However, the pertinent
Local Rule states that:
Counsel and any unrepresented party shall meet within 60 days after service of
the complaint upon any defendant, or the first appearance of any defendant,
regardless of the pendency of any undecided motions, for the purpose of
preparing and filing a Case Management Report in the form prescribed below.
Unless the Court orders otherwise, parties represented by counsel are permitted,
but are not required, to attend the case management meeting. The Case
Management Report must be filed within 14 days after the meeting. Unless
otherwise ordered by the Court, a party may not seek discovery from any source
before the meeting.
M.D. Fla. Local Rule 3.05(c)(2)(B). (emphasis added).
The parties have not filed the Case Management Report, no answer or other responsive
pleading has been filed, and no discovery has begun. Given that this case is only at the pleadings

stage, the Motion is premature.

Thus, the Court shall deny Plaintiff’s Motion to Compel

Defendants for Production.
Accordingly, it is now
ORDERED:
Plaintiff's Motion to Compel Defendants for Production of All True Documents, Answers
to QWR and Admissions as Requested Per Exhibits (Doc. #5) is DENIED.
DONE and ORDERED in Fort Myers, Florida this 10th day of September, 2012.
