ANNETTE WORLEY,
Plaintiff,
Case No. 11-15268

v.
AKB EXPRESS, INC., et al.,
Defendants.
/

ORDER GRANTING DEFENDANTS’ “MOTION TO COMPEL PLAINTIFF’S BANK
ACCOUNT INFORMATION”
Plaintiff alleges that one of Defendants, while driving a semi-trailer truck,
negligently struck Plaintiff’s automobile. Among other harms, Plaintiff alleges disability,
including a diminished ability to enjoy life. Among other remedies, Plaintiff demands
lost wages. In part to either confirm or disprove both Plaintiff’s disability and Plaintiff’s
unemployment, Defendants sent Plaintiff an interrogatory requesting Plaintiff’s bank
records. Plaintiff objected to the request. Defendants therefore move to compel
production of the records. Plaintiff submits no response.
During a September 11, 2012, on-the-record telephone conference Plaintiff
offered no sufficient reason for withholding the bank records. For the reasons stated by
the court during the telephone conference,

IT IS ORDERED that Defendants’ “Motion to Compel Plaintiff’s Bank Account
Information” [Dkt. # 20] is GRANTED.1
