On or about December 5, 2005, counsel for Counterdefendants, Roger Hall, telephoned to request an extension of time for Counterdefendants to respond to Regan Media' First Request for Production of Documents. On December 9, 2005, counsel for s Counterclaimants, David Bodney, sent a letter to Counterdefendants agreeing to extend the deadline to December 12, 2005. On December 14, 2005, Mr. Bodney sent an e-mail to Mr. Hall inquiring about the status of Counterdefendants' document production. On Tuesday, December 27, 2005, when no response had been served, undersigned counsel telephoned Mr. Hall to inquire about Counterdefendants' response to Regan Media' document requests. Mr. s Hall offered no excuse for his clients' failure to comply with this pending discovery request. Undersigned counsel informed Mr. Hall that Counterclaimants would be obliged to file a motion to compel if a response to the First Request for Production of Documents was not received by January 2, 2006. As of this writing, Counterdefendants still have not responded to Regan Media' November 4, 2005 First Request for Production of s Documents. 2 Case 2:05-cv-00854-EHC Document 70 Filed 01/05/2006 Page 2 of 4 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 RESPECTFULLY SUBMITTED this 5th day of January, 2006.
