IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS
WESTERN DIVISION
ARTHUR CARSON

v.

PLAINTIFF
No. 4:11-cv-733-DPM

ELNORA THOMPSON and
HOSEA THOMPSON

DEFENDANTS
ORDER

Carson's motion for sanctions, Document No. 33, is denied. Hosea
Thompson's answers to the interrogatories, Document No. 32, were one
business day late. This does not strike the Court as a circumstance for Rule
37 sanctions. The Court cannot tell whether Hosea Thompson sent a copy of
his answers to Carson. The Court therefore directs Thompson to do so
immediately if he has not already. The parties are instructed that they must
send a copy of any Court filing to the opposing party. Further, discovery
materials such as these responses should not be filed with the Court. Simply
send the responses to the opposing party.
Carson's motion to compel, Document No. 34, is granted. The questions
posed are reasonable.

Elnora Thompson must respond to Carson's

interrogatories no later than 23 July 2012. These responses should be sent
directly to Carson, not filed with the Court.

So Ordered.

D.P. Marshall Jr.
United States District Judge
