Plaintiff filed a second motion to compel production of documents from Matthews Cate on October 2, 2009. Both motions are set for hearing on October 23, 2009. On October 20, 2009, the Court received discovery statements from Plaintiff. In the accompanying declarations, Plaintiff's counsel indicates that Defendants' counsel was unable to provide Defendants' portion of the statement. It also appears that in at least one of the disputes, Plaintiff has received documents but had not yet reviewed them at the time the statement was filed. Additionally, Plaintiff submitted hundreds of pages of exhibits on Wednesday, October 21, 2009, one day after such documentation was due. Defendants. v.
