CIVIL ACTION NO. 5:12-CV-465 (MTT)

ORDER
Before the Court is the Plaintiff’s “Motion for an Order Compelling Discovery.”
(Doc. 25). The Plaintiff requests, pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 37(a), that “defendants
[Adams & Jordan] attorneys at law for Bibb County Georgia” [sic] provide affidavits of
each defendant, deposition transcripts, copies of all statements, copies of all
documents, and a copy of his complaint. He states that he submitted a request for
these documents on July 9, 2013 but received no response.
As an initial matter, the Plaintiff appears to have directed his discovery request
toward Defendants this Court previously dismissed from this action (Doc. 16) and who
no longer are part of the case. To whatever extent the Plaintiff seeks discovery from the
remaining Defendants, his request and motion are untimely. This Court previously
ordered (Doc. 10) that the discovery period in this case run for 90 days from the date of
the remaining Defendants’ answers. Those Defendants filed their answers on March 8,
2013. (Doc. 18; Doc. 19). Accordingly, the discovery period expired June 6, 2013, and
the Defendants were not obligated to respond to the Plaintiff’s request for documents
after that date. Because the time for discovery has passed, the Court will not compel

the Defendants to produce the documents the Plaintiff requests. The Plaintiff’s motion
is DENIED.
SO ORDERED this 1st day of October, 2013.

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
