RAY HOBBS, et al.

DEFENDANTS
ORDER

This matter is before the Court on Plaintiffs’ Motion to Compel (Doc. No. 50). Defendants
filed a Response in opposition to the Motion (Doc. No. 55).
In their Motion, Plaintiffs state Defendants improperly objected to some of their discovery
requests as irrelevant to their claims. Plaintiffs state the information requested is relevant to their
claims regarding their classification in administrative segregation and the reviews provided to them.
In their Response, Defendants state their objections to many of Plaintiffs’ requests were
proper, and that despite indicating objections, they responded to almost all of the requests.
Defendants also informed Plaintiffs that they are able to review their institutional jackets upon
proper request.
The Court has reviewed the copies of Plaintiffs’ requests and Defendants’ responses, and
finds no improper objections by the Defendants. Even when objecting to many of the interrogatories
propounded, Defendants provided responses to the Plaintiffs. See Doc. No. 55-1. It appears to the
Court that Plaintiffs’ objections are with the type of answer provided, and not that Defendants failed
to respond. Accordingly,
IT IS, THEREFORE, ORDERED that Plaintiffs’ Motion to Compel (Doc. No. 50) is
DENIED.

IT IS SO ORDERED this 7th day of July, 2011.
