v.
PNC BANK, N.A., and DOES 1-10,

Defendants.
INTRODUCTION
Pending before the Court is Defendant PNC Bank’s motion seeking an order from
the Court compelling Plaintiffs Erick and Peggy Bostrom to provide supplemental initial
disclosures and responses to written discovery, and to provide dates for depositions of the
Bostroms. (Dkt. 13.) The motion seeks also attorney's fees and other sanctions for the
Bostroms’ failure to timely respond to the outstanding discovery requests and to appear
for their depositions.
The motion has been fully briefed on an expedited schedule and the Court heard
oral argument from the parties on June 7, 2016. After review of the record and
MEMORANDUM DECISION AND ORDER RE: MOTION TO COMPEL - 1
consideration of the parties’ arguments and relevant legal authorities, the Court issues the
following Memorandum Decision and Order granting PNC Bank’s motion.
BACKGROUND
Procedurally, discovery in this case has not proceeded as expected. On July 27,
2015, the Court held a telephonic scheduling conference and issued an order the same
day approving the parties’ stipulated litigation plan. (Dkt. 10.) The Case Management
Order includes the following deadlines:
1. Factual Discovery Due: March 18, 2016
2. Plaintiffs’ Expert Witness Disclosures: April 15, 2016
3. Defendants’ Expert Witness Disclosures: May 20, 2016
4. Plaintiffs’ Rebuttal Expert Disclosures: June 10, 2016
5. All Expert Witness Disclosures: June 24, 2016
6. Dispositive Pre-trial Motions: July 22, 2016
7. Mediation to occur: July 8, 2016. 1
(Dkt. 10.)
The Bostroms 2 served their initial disclosures on PNC Bank on December 24,
2015. 3 Aff. Thomson, ¶ 8. (Dkt. 13-2 at 2.) Upon review of the initial disclosures, on
January 6, 2016, PNC Bank sent a letter to the Bostroms requesting the initial disclosures

The Court has not yet set a trial date for this matter.
Throughout this memorandum decision and order, when the Court refers to the actions of the parties, it
is referring to the actions taken by the parties’ counsel on behalf of their clients unless otherwise
specified.
3
The parties stipulated that initial disclosures were to be exchanged between the parties no later than
August 21, 2015. Aff. Thomson, ¶ 2. (Dkt. 13-2 at 1-2.) The Bostroms did not provide their initial
disclosures until PNC Bank indicated its intention to seek Court intervention after multiple attempts to
work with counsel to obtain them. Id. at ¶ 4-8.

be supplemented pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 26(a)(1)(A)(iii). Id.at Ex. E. Specifically,
PNC Bank requested the Bostroms’ credit reports 4 and a calculation of damages. Id. PNC
Bank sent two additional letters requesting the same information on February 4, 2016,
and March 3, 2016. The Bostroms did not respond to either correspondence. Id. at Ex. F.
In addition to the Bostroms’ failure to supplement their supplemental initial disclosures,
they also failed to timely respond to PNC Bank’s written discovery requests propounded
on February 5, 2016.
Throughout the time PNC Bank sought to obtain the Bostroms’ supplemental
initial disclosures, it attempted also to schedule the Bostroms’ depositions. However,
PNC Bank’s phone calls to Bostroms’ counsel to schedule deposition dates went
unanswered and voicemail messages were not returned. Aff. Thomson, Ex. F. (Dkt. 13-3
at 16.) In its attempt to depose the Bostroms prior to the March 18, 2016 factual
discovery deadline, PNC Bank sent a letter to their attorney informing them the
depositions were set for February 25, 2016. 5 Id. Neither the Bostroms nor their counsel
appeared for the depositions as noticed by PNC Bank. 6
On March 3, 2016, PNC Bank sent a letter informing the Bostroms they missed
the scheduled depositions, and indicating also its intention to seek sanctions for costs as a
4
The Bostroms’ initial disclosures indicated that their credit reports would be used to support their claims
pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 26(a)(1)(A)(ii).
5
Deposition notices were served on the Bostroms through their counsel consistent with the applicable
rules. Id. at ¶ 13. Counsel for the Bostroms indicated at the hearing he was not aware these depositions
were noticed until after February 25, 2016. He indicated this may have been due to a change in address of
his firm. Counsel for the Bostroms represented to the Court that he later informed his clients of this
scheduling oversight.
6
The Bostroms provided no advance notice that they would not appear for the depositions. While the
court reporter waited, PNC Bank attempted to contact the Bostroms by telephone, but received voicemail.
Aff. Thomson, ¶ 15. (Dkt. 13-2 at 3.)

result of their absence if it did not hear from the Bostroms soon. Aff. Thomson, Ex. I.
(Dkt. 13-5 at 1.) On March 7, 2016, the Bostroms responded to the letter, indicating they
would provide new deposition dates the following day, and offering also to stipulate to an
extension of the factual discovery deadline. 7 Id. at Ex. J. The next day, the Bostroms
informed PNC Bank they were available to be deposed on March 16, 17, or 18. Id. at Ex.
K.
The Bostroms depositions were not scheduled, however. In a follow up to the
March 8, 2016 email with deposition dates, PNC Bank responded that the dates proposed
worked, but indicated it wanted the supplemental initial disclosures beforehand. 8 Aff.
Thomson, Ex. L. (Dkt. 13-5 at 4.) Radio silence ensued once again—the Bostroms did
not respond to this request or to voicemails left by defense counsel to schedule the
depositions. Id.at ¶ 21. On April 15, 2016, PNC Bank sent a letter to the Bostroms
outlining the issues with the Bostroms’ failure to supplement their initial disclosures,
respond to written discovery, and getting their depositions rescheduled. Id. at Ex. M.
PNC Bank stated also its intention to seek Court intervention if the discovery responses
were not forthcoming. 9 Id.
7
In his response, counsel for the Bostroms indicates his client’s failure to appear at the depositions was
not their fault, but instead, “the consequence of [his] own oversight.” Aff. Thomson, Ex. J. (Dkt. 13-5 at
2.)
8
PNC Bank also accepted the Bostroms’ offer to informally extend the factual discovery deadline
through April 8, 2016. However, the Bostroms never responded to indicate whether they agreed with the
proposed date.
9
In addition, defense counsel attempted to telephonically contact the counsel for the Bostroms a handful
of times to schedule the depositions, but only reached voicemail. PNC Bank contends it did receive one
voicemail from the Bostroms’ counsel’s paralegal, who indicated in her voicemail she wanted to discuss
the depositions. However, when PNC Bank called the paralegal back, it reached the paralegal’s voicemail
again and left another voicemail, which was not returned. Aff. Stacey, ¶ 3. (Dkt. 13-6 at 2.)
MEMORANDUM DECISION AND ORDER RE: MOTION TO COMPEL - 4
On April 20, 2016, in a last attempt to resolve the discovery issues without Court
intervention, PNC Bank telephoned counsel for the Bostroms and left a voicemail
indicating its intention to seek Court intervention. Aff. Stacey, ¶ 4. (Dkt. 13-6 at 2.) The
same day, the Bostroms responded by email and ensured they would work on the
outstanding discovery issues over the next day or so and would be in contact soon to
schedule the depositions. Id. at Ex. A. Having not heard from the Bostroms, PNC Bank
sent follow up emails to the Bostroms on April 25, 26, and 28—in the last email, PNC
Bank indicated again its intention to seek Court intervention. Id. at Ex. B-D. The
Bostroms responded on April 28, 2016, and promised the discovery issues would be
resolved by May 2, 2016. Id. at Ex.D. However, neither the supplemental initial
disclosures nor responses to the written discovery requests were provided to PNC Bank
by May 2, 2016.
On May 6, 2016, PNC Bank filed the present motion seeking an order compelling
the Bostroms to produce their supplemental initial disclosures and discovery responses,
and to provide deposition availability. (Dkt. 13.) PNC Bank seeks also attorney's fees and
sanctions related to the discovery delays, and an extension of time to serve its expert
witness disclosures. Id. The Bostroms filed a notice of non-opposition to the motion to
compel, and indicated they would provide the outstanding discovery to PNC Bank by
May 25, 2016. 10 (Dkt. 15.) The Bostroms requested, however, that sanctions not be
10
Counsel for the Bostroms apologized for his delay in the response and explained the delay was a
product of personal and family reasons. (Dkt. 15.)
MEMORANDUM DECISION AND ORDER RE: MOTION TO COMPEL - 5
awarded, or at least, that the Court defer awarding sanctions until after the parties attend
mediation, the deadline for which is July 8, 2016. Id.
On May 31, 2016, the Court held a status conference and learned the Bostroms
had not provided PNC Bank their responses to the outstanding discovery requests as they
promised in their non-opposition to the motion to compel. (Dkt. 15.) As such, the Court
set a hearing on the motion to compel to address the issue of attorney’s fees and costs, as
well as PNC Bank’s request for sanctions made in its reply upon learning the Bostroms
failed to uphold the promise in their non-opposition. The Court provided the Bostroms an
opportunity to file a sur-response to the motion to compel to address the issue of
sanctions. However, a sur-response was not filed.
On June 7, 2016, during the hearing on the motion to compel, counsel for the
Bostroms described in some detail the personal and family issues that he believes were
preventing him over the past several months from timely meeting PNC Bank’s discovery
requests, the Court’s deadlines, and his own promises to respond. He indicated also that
his clients are aware of these issues. PNC Bank stated during the hearing it first learned
of opposing counsel’s personal and family issues from the non-opposition to the motion
to compel.
DISCUSSION
In its motion, PNC Bank requests the Court to compel the Bostroms to provide
supplemental initial disclosures, responses to outstanding written discovery requests, and
their deposition availability. In addition to or instead of an order compelling this
information, PNC Bank requests various sanctions related to the Bostroms’ continued
MEMORANDUM DECISION AND ORDER RE: MOTION TO COMPEL - 6
delay in resolving these discovery disputes and failing to appear at their depositions. The
Court will first address the three discovery issues separately below and next discuss the
appropriate sanctions.
I. Supplemental initial disclosures
It is undisputed the Bostroms have not supplemented their initial disclosures
pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 26(a) as specifically requested by PNC Bank. After receiving
the Bostroms’ initial disclosures on December 24, 2015, PNC Bank began sending
several letters to the Bostroms as early as January 6, 2016, requesting they supplement
their initial disclosures to include a calculation of damages and to provide copies of the
credit reports identified in the initial disclosures. PNC Bank now seeks an order
compelling these supplemental initial disclosures.
The type of information sought by PNC Bank, specifically the Bostroms’
computation of damages and copies of credit reports identified in the disclosures fall
within the initial disclosure requirements of Fed. R. Civ. P. 26(a).
Pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 26(a), parties are required to initially disclose the
following to other parties without awaiting a discovery request:
(ii) a copy—or a description by category and location—of all
documents, electronically stored information, and tangible things
that the disclosing party has in its possession, custody, or control and
may use to support its claims or defenses…
(iii) a computation of each category of damages claim by the
disclosing party—who must also make available for inspection and
copying as under Rule 34 the documents or other evidentiary
material, unless privileged or protected from disclosure, on which
each computation is based, including materials bearing on the nature
and extent of injuries suffered….
MEMORANDUM DECISION AND ORDER RE: MOTION TO COMPEL - 7
Fed. R. Civ. P. 26(a). Further, parties have a duty to supplement or correct their
disclosures and responses “in a timely manner if the party learns that in some material
respect the disclosure or response is incomplete or incorrect….” Fed. R. Civ. P.
26(e)(1)(A).
In their initial disclosures, the Bostroms indicated their credit reports would be
used to support their claims, but did not include copies of those reports to PNC Bank.
However, copies were timely and appropriately requested by PNC Bank. The Bostroms
also failed to include a computation of their damages in their initial disclosures. The
Bostroms acknowledged during the hearing that this supplemental information should
have been provided.
Accordingly, the Court will compel the Bostroms to supplement their initial
disclosures, as requested by PNC Bank and as appropriate under Fed. R. Civ. P. 26(a) and
(e) on or before June 21, 2016. Failure to provide this information to PNC Bank by the
date ordered may result in sanctions.
II. Outstanding responses to written discovery
PNC Bank propounded discovery requests to the Bostroms on February 15, 2016.
The parties informally extended the deadline for responses through March 24, 2016.
When the deadline passed, PNC Bank made several attempts through phone calls, letters,
and emails to obtain the outstanding discovery responses. It is undisputed the Bostroms
have not provided responses to PNC Bank’s written discovery requests.
The Bostroms have not provided any reason for their failure to respond to these
discovery requests, other than counsel’s personal and family issues. Accordingly, the
MEMORANDUM DECISION AND ORDER RE: MOTION TO COMPEL - 8
Court will order the Bostroms to provide their responses to PNC Bank’s written
discovery requests on or before June 21, 2016. 11
III. Scheduling the Bostroms’ depositions
It is undisputed the Bostroms have not been deposed in this action. PNC Bank has
made several unanswered efforts to contact the Bostroms through their counsel to
coordinate dates for taking the depositions.
The Court discussed with the parties during the hearing their availability to take
the depositions of the Bostroms. PNC Bank explained, and the Court agreed, these
depositions may be deferred until after PNC receives the outstanding discovery responses
from the Bostroms. Accordingly, the Bostroms should be deposed within the next four to
six weeks after June 21, 2016. The Court will order counsel for the Bostroms to contact
his clients to discuss their availability and to provide proposed deposition dates to PNC
Bank for that time period no later than June 21, 2016.
IV. Sanctions
PNC Bank requests various sanctions related to the discovery disputes discussed
above. Specifically, it requests the Court: (1) order an award of reasonable expenses,
including attorney’s fees, associated with the Bostroms’ failure to supplement their initial
disclosures, respond to written discovery requests, and their evasion of PNC Bank’s
requests to provide available dates for their depositions; (2) order the Bostroms to pay for
11
Because the deadline for the Bostroms to respond to PNC Bank’s written discovery requests has long
expired, the Bostroms have waived the opportunity to raise objections to these requests. Further, counsel
for the Bostroms indicated during the hearing that June 21, 2016 is a realistic deadline, and that he would
have the information to PNC Bank by then.
MEMORANDUM DECISION AND ORDER RE: MOTION TO COMPEL - 9
the cost of the court reporter and associated attorney’s fees for failing to appear at the
February 25, 2016 depositions; and (3) order reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses for
filing this motion to compel. The Court addresses each request in detail below.
A. Failure to timely supplement initial disclosures
Rule 37(c) provides that “[i]f a party fails to provide information ... as required by
Rule 26(a) or (e), the party is not allowed to use that information ... to supply evidence on
a motion, at a hearing, or at trial, unless the failure was substantially justified or is
harmless. In addition to or instead of this sanction, the court on motion or after giving an
opportunity to be heard: (A) may order payment of the reasonable expenses, including
attorney's fees, caused by the failure; (B) may inform the jury of the party's failure; and
(C) may impose other appropriate sanctions including any of the orders listed in Rule
37(b)(2)(A) (i)-(vi).” Fed.R.Civ.P. 37. See Bryntesen v. Camp Auto., Inc., No. 2:13-CV00491-BLW, 2015 WL 248002, at *3 (D. Idaho Jan. 20, 2015).
“Whether to impose a sanction under Rule 37 is a matter of the Court's discretion
considering the Rule's purpose to deter discovery abuses and romote full and efficient
discovery.” Davis v. Nevarez, No. 3:07-CV-00427EJLLMB, 2009 WL 1468705, at *2
(D. Idaho May 22, 2009) (citing Marchand v. Mercy Medical Center, 22 F.3d 933 (9th
Cir.1994)).
Here, the Court finds the appropriate sanction at this time is to order payment of
PNC Bank’s reasonable attorney’s fees incurred due to the failure of the Bostroms to
MEMORANDUM DECISION AND ORDER RE: MOTION TO COMPEL - 10
supplement their initial disclosures. 12 Accordingly, the Court will order payment of
reasonable attorney's fees and expenses associated with the several letters, emails, and
time spent by PNC Bank attempting to contact the Bostroms by telephone to obtain the
supplemental initial disclosures. At the hearing, counsel for the Bostroms indicated he
should bear the burden of these expenses, rather than his clients, as the delay is not
attributed to their lack of cooperation with counsel. The Court agrees and will order
counsel to bear these expenses.
B. Failure to Attend Depositions/Respond to Written Discovery
Fed. R. Civ. P. 37(d) provides for sanctions where a party fails to appear for his or
her own deposition, or fails to respond to certain formal discovery. Awardable sanctions
include those listed in under section (b)(2). 13 Instead of or in addition to Rule 37(b)(2)
sanctions, the Court must require “the party failing to act, the attorney advising that party,
or both to pay the reasonable expenses, including attorney’s fees, caused by the failure,
12
Prohibiting the Bostroms from using the information (that would be otherwise be in its supplemental
initial disclosures, i.e. the credit reports and computation of damages) in motions, at hearings, or at trial
based primarily on the of poor decisions of its counsel is not a justified sanction at this time.
13
Pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 37(b)(2)(A)(i)-(vii), when a party that fails to comply with a Court's order of
discovery, the court may issue “further just orders” which may include:
(I) directing that the matters embraced in the order or other designated facts be taken as
established for purposes of the action, as the prevailing party claims;
(ii) prohibiting the disobedient party from supporting or opposing designated claims or
defenses, or from introducing designated matters in evidence;
(iii) striking pleadings in whole or in part;
(iv) staying further proceedings until the order is obeyed;
(v) dismissing the action or proceeding in whole or in part;
(vi) rendering a default judgment against the disobedient party; or
(vii) treating as contempt of court the failure to obey any order except an order to submit
to a physical or mental examination.
MEMORANDUM DECISION AND ORDER RE: MOTION TO COMPEL - 11
unless the failure was substantially justified or other circumstances make an award of
expenses unjust.” Fed. R. Civ. P. 37(d)(3).
With regard to the Bostroms’ failure to appear for their depositions, their counsel
indicated during the hearing he was not aware the depositions were scheduled until after
February 25, 2016 (the date of the depositions), despite formal notices and telephone
phone calls from PNC Bank advising him of the date. This does not constitute substantial
justification for failing to appear. Accordingly, the Court finds the appropriate sanction is
to award to PNC Bank reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses associated with the
February 25, 2016 deposition, including court reporter fees. In addition, if additional
expenses are incurred as a result of the upcoming depositions of the Bostroms, the Court
may order counsel for the Bostroms to pay those expenses as well.
Next, with regard to the Bostroms’ failure to respond to PNC Bank’s written
discovery requests, the Court finds a similar sanction is warranted. The Court will award
reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses associated with procuring the responses to PNC
Bank.
C. Payment and Expenses for Motion to Compel
PNC Bank requests reasonable attorney’s fees and costs incurred in filing this
motion pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 37(a)(5)(A). Pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 37(a)(5)(A), if
the motion to compel is granted:
the court must, after giving an opportunity to be heard, require the party or
deponent whose conduct necessitated the motion, the party or the attorney
advising that conduct, or both to pay the movant’s reasonable expenses
incurred in making the motion, including attorney’s fees.
MEMORANDUM DECISION AND ORDER RE: MOTION TO COMPEL - 12
However, the Court must not enter an order if the following applies:
(i) The movant filed the motion before attempting in good faith to obtain
the disclosure or discovery without court action;
(ii) the opposing party’s nondisclosure, response, or objection was
substantially justified; or
(iii) other circumstances make an award of expenses unjust.
Fed. R. Civ. P. 37(a)(5)(A)(i)-(iii).
Here, the Court is granting the motion to compel, and thus, must award reasonable
attorney’s fees and costs unless one of the above exceptions applies. Upon review of the
record and consideration of the parties’ arguments during the hearing, the Court finds
PNC Bank’s motion to compel was brought in good faith, as they attempted on multiple
occasions to contact the Bostroms, through their counsel, to obtain the various
outstanding discovery responses as required by Fed. R. Civ. P. 37(a)(1). 14 Further, the
Court finds the Bostroms have not offered any reason to support that their nondisclosure
was substantially justified.
Accordingly, the Court must award reasonable attorney's fees and expenses to
PNC Bank associated with the motion to compel. For the same reasons stated above,
Bostroms’ counsel, and not the Bostroms, is responsible for necessitating this motion and
will bear the burden of paying these expenses to PNC Bank.
14
PNC Bank has also satisfied Dist. Idaho Civ. R. 37.1, which requires a party to attempt to confer by
telephone or in person prior to filing a motion to compel.
MEMORANDUM DECISION AND ORDER RE: MOTION TO COMPEL - 13
V. Extension of Court ordered deadlines
PNC Bank requests to amend the Case Management Order (Dkt. 10) to extend the
expert witness deadline. During the hearing, PNC Bank made an oral request to extend
also the mediation and dispositive motion deadlines, as well as the factual discovery
deadlines for the limited purpose of receiving the Bostroms’ responses to PNC Bank’s
outstanding discovery requests and for taking the depositions of the Bostroms. The
Bostroms stipulated to these extensions during the hearing. Finding good cause, the Court
will amend the Case Management Order (Dkt. 10) and extend the deadlines as further
specified below.
CONCLUSION
For the reasons explained above, the Court will grant PNC Bank’s motion to
compel with regard to the Bostroms’ supplemental initial disclosures and responses to
PNC Bank’s written discovery requests, will order the Bostroms to provide available
dates for their depositions, and will award reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses
associated with the delay in discovery responses and failure to appear for their
depositions. The Court also will grant PNC Bank’s request to extend certain deadlines.
