ORDER DENYING PLAINTIFF’S MOTION TO COMPEL DISCOVERY
AS MOOT (DE 154)
This matter is before the Court for consideration of Plaintiff’s motion to
compel discovery (DE 154) and Defendants’ response (DE 155). Plaintiff asserts
in his motion that he served discovery requests on Defendant Rosen on July 3,
2018, and that as of September 10, 2018 he had not received Defendant’s
responses to those requests. (DE 154.) Defendants respond that: (1) they requested

an extension to provide responses to Plaintiff’s interrogatories on September 5,
2018; (2) they provided Defendant Rosen’s responses to Plaintiff’s Interrogatories
on October 8, 2018; and (3) Plaintiff’s motion therefore is moot. (DE 155.)
Because Defendants state that Defendant Rosen has now served his
responses to Plaintiff’s Interrogatories, supported by a certificate of service of
those responses, and Plaintiff did not file a reply brief or otherwise dispute
Defendants’ representation, Plaintiff’s motion to compel discovery is DENIED as
moot.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
Dated: November 6, 2018
