Opinion of the Court

Plaintiff Lance Griffin moves to compel updated discovery responses from Defendant Galeana Chrysler Jeep, Inc. (Doc. 36.)1 Plaintiff’s motion is opposed, but the Court need not await a response to dispose of it. For the reasons below, the motion is denied. The problem for Griffin is simple—his request is untimely. Discovery closes on December1, 2023. (See Doc. 25.) The Middle District of Florida Discovery Handbook2 requires the completion of discovery and resolution of issues related to discovery prior to the deadline. Oil Consulting Enter., Inc. v. Hawker Beechcraft Glob. Customer Support, LLC, No. 8:16-CV-3453-T-24AEP,

PREJUDICE.

ORDERED in Fort Myers, Florida this November 21, 2023.

2 The Discovery Handbook is binding on the parties here. (See Doc. 25 at 2.) 2017 WL 7355128, at *1 (M.D. Fla. Dec. 21, 2017). A motion to compel that will not be briefed before discovery ends, as here, “certainly does not allow sufficient time to resolve the matter prior to the close of discovery.” Action Nissan, Inc. v. Hyundai Motor Am., No. 6:18-CV-380-ORL-78EJK, 2020 WL 9173023, at *1 (M.D. Fla. Apr. 7, 2020). Griffin has also moved to extend the discovery deadline. (See Doc. 35.) If discovery 1s reopened, he can (and should) refile his motion to compel. But until that occurs, this discovery dispute is a nonstarter. See, e.g., Govt Emps. Ins. Co. v. Merced, No. 8:20-CV-802-KKM-AAS, 2022 WL 218485, at *1 (M.D. Fla. Jan. 25, 2022). Accordingly, it is ORDERED: Plaintiffs Motion to Compel (Doc. 36) is DENIED WITHOUT
