UNITED PARCEL SERVICE, INC.

DEFENDANT
ORDER

Pending is Defendant’s Motion to Compel (Doc. No. 8). No response has been filed, and the
time for doing so has passed.1 According to its Motion, Defendant served Plaintiff with its initial
disclosures and its first set of interrogatories and requests for production on February 6, 2012 -- as
agreed upon by the parties in their Rule 26(f) conference and report. Defendant has yet to receive
Plaintiff’s initial disclosures or any discovery responses. Defendant contacted Plaintiff 24 different
times about the initial disclosures and discovery; each contact is described in Defendant’s Motion.
But to no avail.
I note that the discovery deadline in this case is August 21, 2012, and that the dispositive
motion deadline is September 5, 2012.2 Trial is set for November 19, 2012.3
After its failed efforts to receive initial disclosures and discovery from Plaintiff, Defendant
filed its Motion. The Motion is GRANTED. Plaintiff is directed to provide Defendant with its initial
disclosures, as well as responses to Defendant’s discovery requests, by 5:00 p.m., Wednesday, July
18, 2012.
IT IS SO ORDERED this 17th day of July, 2012.
