Opinion of the Court

Before the Court is Plaintiff's Short-Form Discovery Motion. Doc. No. 39. Plaintiff moves to quash and/or for a protective order regarding a subpoena directed to her current employer, Parallon Health Information Solutions, LLC, (Doc. No. 39-1, at 3-6) which seeks information from her personnel file. Plaintiff argues that the subpoena seeks cumulative information already obtained in discovery and that the subpoena is overbroad and seeks irrelevant information. Id.

Although the motion states that Defendant opposes, id. at 3, Defendant has not responded to the motion, and its time for doing so expired on September 23, 2025. See Doc. No. 18 ¶ 5 (providing that opposition briefing to a discovery motion must be filed no later than five days after the motion). Accordingly, the Court

deems the motion to be unopposed. See id. (stating that failure to file a timely response will result in the discovery motion being deemed unopposed); see also Weaver v. Green Sols. of Fla. LLC, No. 6:23-cv-2059-CEM-LHP, 2024 WL 4275221, at *1 (M.D. Fla. Sept. 24, 2024) (granting motion to compel as unopposed when opposing party failed to file a timely response in accordance with Standing Discovery Order); Westchester Surplus Lines Ins. Co. v. Paramount Disaster Recovery, LLC, No. 6:18-cv-1738-Orl-37DCI, 2019 WL 5294804, at *1 (M.D. Fla. Apr. 19, 2019) (“The Court routinely grants motions as unopposed where the opposing parties have not filed a response in opposition to the motion.").

Absent any opposition from Defendant, the Court finds Plaintiff's motion (Doc. No. 39) well taken.

Accordingly, Plaintiff's motion (Doc. No. 39) is GRANTED, to the extent that the subpoena directed to Parallon Health Information Solutions, LLC (Doc. No. 39-1, at 3–6) is hereby QUASHED.

DONE and ORDERED in Orlando, Florida on September 24, 2025.
