ORDER
The Court is concerned about the progress of this case. About a month
ago, Hill's lawyer withdrew and Hill began prosecuting this case pro se.
NQ 20. His lawyer's attempts to reach him were unsuccessful, and Hill hasn't

otherwise communicated with the Court. NQ 19. Defendants now say that
Hill hasn't responded to discovery requests that were propounded in May.
Ng 21. The discovery cutoff and dispositive motions deadline are looming.

Defendants' motion to compel, NQ 21, is granted. Hill must respond to
the interrogatories by 27 August 2014. If he does not, the Court will consider
sanctions, including the dismissal of his case without prejudice for failure to
prosecute. LOCAL RULE 5.5(c)(2).

So Ordered.
