SUMMARY ORDER
Defendant.
/
Previously pending on this court’s law and motion calendar for March 15, 2012,
19
was defendant’s motion to dismiss, filed January 25, 2012, and plaintiff’s motion to compel
20
discovery, filed November 14, 2011. Defendant Callaway appeared in pro se. Plaintiff was
21
represented by Erik Roper. These motions will be resolved in an explanatory order to be issued
22
on a later date; however, because time is of the essence in regard to the motion to compel, the
23
instant summary order is issued with respect to that motion.
24
Defendant responded to plaintiff’s first set of discovery with blanket objections
25
and erroneous legal authority. Defendant will be permitted to amend his responses so long as he
26
does so in good faith and exercises reasonable diligence in obtaining responses. Defendant shall
1
1
conduct a thorough and good faith search for all documents in his custody, possession or control
2
responsive to plaintiff’s requests, and shall respond to all discovery requests to the best of his
3
knowledge based upon a reasonable investigation. Failure to properly respond to the discovery
4
requested will result in sanctions, including the possibility of some or all admissions being
5
deemed admitted.
6
Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that:
7
1. Plaintiff’s motion to compel, filed November 14, 2011, (dkt. no. 49), is
8
9
10
granted.
2. Defendant shall respond to the following discovery propounded by plaintiff by
March 31, 2012:
11
a. First Set of Requests for Admissions numbered 1-16, 19-22.
12
b. First Set of Requests for Production of Documents (all requests).
13
c. First Set of Interrogatories (all interrogatories).
14
3. Failure to respond timely and completely and without blanket objections to the
15
aforementioned discovery will result in sanctions.
