Case No. 1:17-CV-75-SNLJ

MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
This matter is before the Court on defendant’s motion to compel (#23). Plaintiff
has not responded, and the time for doing so has passed.
On December 11, 2017, defendant served its first interrogatories and first requests
for document production. Plaintiffs’ responses were due thirty days later. Fed. R. Civ. P.
33(b)(2) (interrogatories); Fed. R. Civ. P. 34(b)(2)(A) (document production). As of
March 5, 2018, plaintiffs had not responded or objected to the interrogatories or requests.
Defendant’s counsel emailed plaintiffs’ counsel twice and spoke with plaintiff’s counsel
twice by phone to resolve the issue. Defendant now asks for judicial intervention. As
such, plaintiffs are ordered to respond to defendant’s first interrogatories and first
requests for document production within ten days. The Court will entertain a separate
motion from defendant for its reasonable fees.
Accordingly,
