CEDRIC PERRY and SHEILA PERRY
v.

PLAINTIFFS

No. 3:11CV00048 JLH

STEVENS TRANSPORT, INC.; and
RICHARD KIRSCHE

DEFENDANTS

LOUISIANA COMMERCE & TRADE ASSOCIATION

INTERVENOR

ORDER
The plaintiffs have filed a motion to compel Stevens Transport, Inc., and Richard Kirsche to
provide certain information that was omitted from their discovery responses. Specifically, the
plaintiffs sought information about the defendants’ liability insurance coverage pertinent to this
accident, and they also requested a medical authorization authorizing counsel for the plaintiffs to
obtain medical records of Richard Kirsche. The medical records allegedly are relevant because
Kirsche had a prior shoulder injury.
The defendants have responded, noting that Stevens Transport, Inc., is self-insured. They
have provided a declarations page from a casualty insurance policy showing that they have excess
coverage in the amount of $2 million per occurrence.

They have also provided a medical

authorization signed by Richard Kirsche for the medical records pertaining to the shoulder injury.
Because the defendants have now provided the information to which the plaintiffs are entitled,
the motion to compel is denied as moot. Document #45.
IT IS SO ORDERED this 20th of April, 2012.
