SHEYENNE MOORE, Plaintiff, v. COMPUTER GENERATED SOLUTIONS, INC., Defendant and COMPUTER GENERATED SOLUTIONS, INC., Third-Party Plaintiff, v. CLUSO INVESTIGATION LLC, f/k/a CLUSO, INC., a Texas Limited Liability Company, Third-Party Defendant.
ORDER
AMANDA ARNOLD SANSONE, UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE
The undersigned held a hearing on June 27, 2024 on Third-Party Plaintiff Computer Generated Solutions, Inc.'s (CGS) motion to compel discovery. (Doc. 41). The motion mainly addressed CGS's request for Cluso to produce certain policy information requested in accord with Fla. Stat. § 627.4137(1)(a)-(e). For the reasons stated at the hearing, the motion to compel (Doc. 41) is GRANTED as to the request for policy information. Cluso had actually produced the necessary policy information the day before the hearing.
However, the conclusion of the motion more broadly (and without briefing) also requested that Cluso be required produce “all supplemental discovery responses which have been deficient thus far.” (Id. at p. 7). This non-specific, not briefed, and overly broad request for relief is DENIED. Per the agreement of the parties, however, by August 9, 2024, Cluso is DIRECTED to produce additional documents in response to any outstanding requests for production by CGS, and the parties are directed to further confer on any deficiencies CGS specifically identifies with regard to the supplemental production.
The motion's request for fees is DENIED. However, the parties are on notice that, consistent with the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, a party will be awarded its reasonable attorney's fees and costs in bringing a successful motion to compel.
The parties' oral motion for a discovery conference (Doc. 52) is GRANTED. A discovery conference is scheduled for September 17, 2024 at 10:00 AM via videoconference before Magistrate Judge Amanda Arnold Sansone. The court will send counsel a calendar invitation with the videoconference link. By September 10, 2024, the parties are DIRECTED to file a joint notice outlining any outstanding discovery issues.
