Pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 37 and the Court' inherent authority, s Defendant/Counterclaimant Regan Media, Inc. (" egan Media" respectfully requests that R ) the Court issue an order (1) compelling Plaintiff/Counterdefendant Jenna Massoli p/k/a Jenna Jameson and Counterdefendants Jay Grdina and Dolce Amore, Inc. (collectively, " ounterdefendants" to respond fully and without objection to Regan Media' First C ) s Request for Production of Documents by 5:00 p.m. March 17, 2006; (2) warning Counterdefendants that failure to produce all requested documents will result in additional sanctions, including the entry of judgment in favor of Counterclaimants on all claims; (3) ordering Counterdefendants to provide signatures from the parties in connection with Counterdefendants' Responses to Regan Media' First Set of Interrogatories; (4) ordering s Jenna Jameson to appear for deposition on April 4, 2006 and Jay Grdina to appear for deposition on April 6, 2006; (5) awarding Regan Media its reasonable expenses and attorneys'fees incurred in bringing this Motion; (6) requiring Counterdefendants to explain their efforts to locate and produce responsive documents and show cause why additional sanctions, including dismissal of their Complaint or entry of judgment on Counterclaimants' claims, should not issue; and (7) modifying the Scheduling Order to accommodate Counterdefendants' document production and deposition. Despite previous representations to the Court and to Regan Media that they would produce responsive documents by February 7, 2006, Counterdefendants have failed to do so. They produced objections and a few documents on February 9, 2006, but their delinquent and insufficient production has forced Regan Media to postpone the depositions of Jenna Jameson and Jay Grdina to pursue this Second Motion to Compel.
