PRODUCERS COOPERATIVE OIL MILL

DEFENDANT
ORDER

On the 8th day of June, 2015, the Court conducted a hearing by telephone on the plaintiff’s
motion to compel jurisdictional discovery. The plaintiff, Valley View Agri, LLC, appeared through
its lawyer, Nathan Andrew Read. The defendant, Producers Cooperative Oil Mill, appeared through
its lawyers, David D. Wilson and Brandon P. Wilson. After hearing argument from the parties, the
Court sustained the objections by Producers Cooperative Oil Mill to the request for membership
applications in Request for Production Nos. 5 and 20. The Court also sustained Producers
Cooperative Oil Mill’s objections to producing its tax returns and to Request for Production No. 21.
Otherwise, the motion to compel was granted. Document #14. Producers Cooperative Oil Mill
stated during the hearing that it believes that it has produced all of the documents and information
responsive to the discovery requests, other than those to which the Court has sustained its objections,
but will verify whether any documents or information remain to be produced back to 1999 and, if
any responsive documents or other information remain to be produced, it will be produced. The
Court orders that the documents and any other responsive information be produced before the
deposition scheduled for June 18, 2015.
IT IS SO ORDERED this 8th day of June, 2015.
