ORDER DENYING PLAINTIFF’S MAY 31, 2017 DISCOVERY-RELATED
MOTIONS (DEs 36 and 39)
Plaintiff filed this lawsuit in pro per on February 21, 2017. On May 31,
2017, Plaintiff filed several matters, including: (1) a “dispositive pretrial motion
for discovery counter motions for dismissal concurrences with writ of manifest
error brief in support of trial by a jury[,]” (DE 36); (2) a motion for Defendant
Gerald Whalen of the Michigan Liquor Control Commission to revoke Defendant
Michael Shannon Moore’s state license to operate “taxed spirits, beer [and] wine”
from Moorski’s Pub in Jackson, Michigan (DE 37); (3) a motion for preliminary
injunction and temporary restraining order pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 65 (DE 38);
1 

and (4) a motion for interrogatories, which sets forth five interrogatories as to five
different defendants (DE 39). Responses to these motions have been filed. (DEs
51, 55, 62; DE 54; DEs 53, 57; DEs 52, 56, 62.)
On June 13, 2017, this Court granted Plaintiff’s request for oral argument
(see DE 40 at 2) and noticed these motions for a June 21, 2017 hearing. (DE 50.)
On the date set for hearing, Plaintiff appeared, as did the following defense
attorneys: Brendon R. Beer (for Michael Shannon Moore and Robert D. Moore);
Rhonda R. Stowers (for Ganzhorn, Klimmer, Burtch, Morris, Tinklepaugh and
Brooker); Jason A. Geissler (for Whalen); and Elizabeth R. Husa Briggs (for
Page).1 The Court entertained oral argument as to each of the motions before it.
Upon consideration of the motion papers and the parties’ oral argument, and
consistent with my statements from the bench, all of which are incorporated herein
by reference, Plaintiff’s May 31, 2017 discovery-related motions (DEs 36 and 39)
are DENIED. A report and recommendation as to the other May 31, 2017 motions
(DEs 37 and 38), each of which seeks injunctive relief, will issue separately.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
Dated: June 22, 2017
