Case No. 4:11CV1170 RWS

MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
This matter is before me on plaintiffs’ motion to compel discovery responses. Although
plaintiffs’ motion is not accompanied by the certification required by Local Rule 37-3.04, the
Court will not deny the motion on that basis because plaintiffs’ exhibits demonstrate that counsel
has made good faith efforts to obtain the discovery. Any future motions, however, will be denied
without prejudice if the certification is not included. Plaintiffs aver that defendants have failed to
respond to discovery, despite being granted additional time to do so, and that their refusal to
comply may prejudice the plaintiffs’ ability to mediate this case in February. Accordingly,
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that plaintiffs’ motion to compel [#48] is granted, and
defendants shall provide written responses to plaintiffs’ discovery requests, in writing, under
oath, and without objection, and produce any documents required by these discovery requests, by
Thursday, January 26, 2012 at noon.
