Opinion of the Court

REPLY TO A RESPONSE NON COMPLIANCE (Doc. No. 28) prejudice. This cause comes before the Court on the above-styled motions, filed by Plaintiff Shirley Baker Anderson, who appears pro se. Doc. Nos. 26–28. It is not clear from any of the motions what relief Plaintiff seeks. For one, Plaintiff appears to at least partly respond to allegations from Defendant the City of Daytona Beach’s motions to dismiss. By the title of the motions, Plaintiff also appears to request summary judgment. The remainder of Plaintiff’s motions reference, among other things, prior Court Orders, Local Rules, Florida Statutes, the Fair Debt Collection

Practices Act, and alleged conduct by Defendants. See id. Upon consideration, each of the motions (Doc. Nos. 26–28) will be denied without prejudice for failure to comply with the Local Rules of this Court, including

Local Rules 1.08, 3.01(a), and 3.01(g). Any renewed motions must comply with all Local Rules, include a memorandum of legal authority in support, and state Defendants’ position on the request. The Court notes that to the extent that Plaintiff’s motions are an attempt to respond to motions to dismiss, Plaintiff may file a response to any pending motions to dismiss, as appropriate, in accordance with Local Rule 3.01(c). However, insofar as Plaintiff seeks summary judgment, that request is premature, as discovery has yet to commence. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 26(d)(1). See also Smith v. Fla. Dep’t of Corr., 713 F. 3d 1059, 1064 (11th Cir. 2013) (“Summary judgment is premature when a party is not provided a reasonable opportunity to discover information essential to his opposition.”).

DONE and ORDERED in Orlando, Florida on October 25, 2022.
