ORDER

Pending before the Court is the Defendant’s Motion to Compel (Doc. No. 11). During
discovery, Defendant requested that Plaintiff sign and produce a Medical Authorization to permit
Defendant to obtain copies of Plaintiff’s medical records. Plaintiff has refused to comply with the
Defendant’s request.
After careful review, the Court finds that Plaintiff’s medical records are relevant and
necessary. Defendant’s Motion to Compel (Doc. 11) is hereby GRANTED. Plaintiff is ordered to
sign and produce a Medical Authorization within fourteen (14) days of this Order.

Failure to

comply with this Order will likely result in the dismissal of his denial of adequate medical care
claim.
IT IS SO ORDERED this 28th day of February, 2013.
