ADC # 610198
V.

PLAINTIFF

CASE NO. 5:11CV00211 KGB/BD

VERNON R. ROBERTSON, et al.

DEFENDANTS

ORDER
Mr. Jones has filed a motion to compel, seeking an order requiring Defendant
Robertson to more fully respond to discovery requests. (Docket entry #49) Mr.
Robertson has responded to the motion by stating that the information Mr. Jones
requested is irrelevant and outside the scope of this lawsuit.
After reviewing Mr. Robertson’s responses, it is clear that the information Mr.
Jones seeks is not sufficiently related to any issue in this case. For that reason, the motion
(#49) is DENIED.
Mr. Jones also has moved for additional time to respond to the Defendants’ motion
for summary judgment. (#55) That motion (#55) is GRANTED. His response is now
due on or before September 12, 2012.
IT IS SO ORDERED this 13th day of August, 2012.
