JOHN PATRICK TEEHAN,

    Appellant,

    v.

FLORIDA EAST COAST RAILWAY,
L.L.C., a Florida corporation,

    Appellee.
                 _____________________________


On appeal from the Circuit Court for Duval County.
Kevin Blazs, Judge.

PER CURIAM.

     John Teehan appeals a final summary judgment dismissing
his Federal Employers’ Liability Act action, see 45 U.S.C. § 51, in
favor of Florida East Coast Railway, L.L.C. The trial court found
that the statute of limitations barred Teehan’s claim because he
knew or should have known that he was injured more than three
years before he filed suit. See 45 U.S.C. § 56. We find a factual
dispute as to when Teehan should have discovered his injury that
precludes summary judgment on this issue. See, e.g., Granfield v.
CSX Transp., Inc., 597 F.3d 474, 482-83 (1st Cir. 2010); see also
Volusia Cty. v. Aberdeen at Ormond Beach, L.P., 760 So. 2d 126,
130 (Fla. 2000) (“Summary judgment is proper if there is no
genuine issue of material fact and if the moving party is entitled
to a judgment as a matter of law.”). Because summary judgment
may not be entered based on the statute of limitations, all
evidentiary rulings premised on this issue are rendered moot.

    REVERSED.

LEWIS, WETHERELL, and WINOKUR, JJ., concur.
