ORDER ADOPTING MAGISTRATE JUDGE’S REPORT AND
RECOMMENDATION AND ORDERING DEFENDANTS TO SHOW
CAUSE AS TO WHY THEY HAVE NOT COMPLIED WITH THE
COURT’S JUNE 11, 2014 ORDER COMPELLING DISCOVERY
RESPONSES
This matter comes before the Court on the May 19, 2015 Report and
Recommendation of United States Magistrate Judge Mona K. Majzoub (Dkt. # 40),
recommending that the Court order Defendants to show cause as to why they have
not complied with the Court’s June 11, 2014 Order (Dkt. # 30), which compelled
Defendants’ response to certain interrogatories and document requests tendered by
Plaintiff. Defendants have filed no timely objections to the Magistrate Judge’s
1

Report and Recommendation. The Court has reviewed the Magistrate Judge’s
Report and Recommendation, as well as the Court’s file of this action and
concludes that, for the reasons stated in the Report and Recommendation, the
Defendants shall be ordered to show cause as to why they have failed to comply.
Accordingly,
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Defendants shall show in person at a
hearing on Wednesday, September 02, 2015 at 3:00 pm as to why Plaintiff’s
Motion for Contempt (Dkt. # 31) should not be granted. Plaintiff shall also be
present at the hearing and should be prepared to respond to Defendants’
explanation. If Defendants fail to sufficiently demonstrate cause, they shall be
sanctioned in accordance with the terms described in the Magistrate Judge’s Report
and Recommendation.
IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: August 11, 2015
