Case No. 1:13-CV-58 (WLS)

ORDER
Presently pending is Petitioner’s Motion to Compel Discovery, filed pursuant to
Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 37(a). (Doc. 18.) Therein, Petitioner moves the Court for
an order compelling Defendants to respond to Petitioner’s First Interrogatories to
Nathan Lutz and First Requests for Production to Southern Tree Services. (Id.)
Defendants were given an extension through to April 14, 2014, to provide discovery
responses. (Doc. 18-1 at 2-3.) Based on the information provided to the Court, no
responses have been filed to date. (See Docket.) Additionally, Defendants have not filed
a response in opposition to Petitioner’s Motion. (Id.) Therefore, because the Court finds
that Petitioner has satisfied the good-faith requirement of Rule 37(a)(1), and Defendants
have not offered any objection to Petitioner’s motion, Petitioner’s Motion to Compel
Discovery (Doc. 18) is hereby GRANTED. Defendants are ORDERED to serve their
responses to all written discovery not later than Thursday, July 3, 2014. Petitioner may
move for attorney’s fees by motion filed within fourteen (14) days of entry of this
Order.
