IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLORADO
Magistrate Judge Boyd N. Boland
Civil Action No. 13-cv-02158-RM-BNB
RICHARD WALL,
Plaintiff,
v.
WILLIAM RODMAN, M.D., and
ASPEN VALLEY HOSPITAL,
Defendants.
______________________________________________________________________________
ORDER
______________________________________________________________________________
This matter arises on Defendant’s Motion for Leave to File Reply [Doc. # 70, filed
4/23/2014] (the “Motion”).
The defendant seeks leave to file a CD “with all the documents plaintiff has produced in
this case so the Court can make its own determination about whether plaintiff has complied with
the Order granting Motion to Compel.” Motion [Doc. # 70] at ¶4. I am informed that more than
1,000 documents have been produced. Response [Doc. # 68] at p. 3.
Judges lack the detailed familiarity with the facts of a case possessed by the parties and
their counsel. Consequently, it is unreasonable to expect me to review 1,000 documents to
determine whether full discovery responses have been made. Such a massive submission would
be overwhelming and of no material assistance in deciding the issue presented.
IT IS ORDERED that the Motion [Doc. # 70] is DENIED.

Dated April 24, 2014.
BY THE COURT:
s/ Boyd N. Boland
United States Magistrate Judge
