April 29, 2022 Opinion or Order Filing 10 ENDORSED ORDER: The Court denies Hooker's #8 Motion to Disqualify Judges. Hooker contends this Court fraudulently erred in a separate action, No. 8:20-cv-2557-KKM-JSS, when it dismissed Hooker's claims. Hooker's objections to a prior judicial act do not support disqualifying the judges in this action. The appropriate remedy if Hooker objects to a final judgment from this Court is for Hooker to appeal that judgment to the Eleventh Circuit. Signed by Judge Kathryn Kimball Mizelle on 4/29/2022. (JMB)

App'x 817, 820-21 (11th Cir. 2017) (affirming the district court's decision to strike a premature summary judgment motion and explaining that "district courts have unquestionable authority to control their own dockets, including broad discretion in deciding how best to manage the cases before them" (cleaned up) (quotation omitted)); Green v. Rettig, 2021 WL 2435758 (M.D. Fla. June 15, 2021) (Howard, J.) (denying a summary judgment motion as premature where the parties had not yet engaged in discovery). The plaintiff may file a renewed motion after an adequate discovery period.
