Defendants,

MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
This matter is before the Court on Defendants’ motion (Doc. No. 215) for
reconsideration of the Court’s Memorandum and Order (Doc. No. 212) dated June 3,
2013, denying Defendants’ May 16, 2013 motion (Doc. No. 191) for sanctions in the
form of dismissal of the amended complaint with prejudice, for Plaintiffs’ alleged failure
to submit answers to interrogatories. In its Memorandum and Order, the Court noted
that Plaintiffs had responded to the motion for sanctions, that they had mailed their
answers on May 14, 2012, and Defendants did not reply refuting this statement.
Defendants’ now ask the Court to consider the motion to dismiss (Doc. No. 195) that
they had filed on May 21, 2013, as their reply to Plaintiffs’ above-noted response.
Defendants’ motion to dismiss filed on May 21, 2013 challenges the sufficiency
of Plaintiffs’ interrogatory answers that were received on May 16, 2013. It remains
pending as an independent motion. It would be nonsensical to consider it at this time as
a reply addressing the motion for sanctions for failing to submit answers altogether.

Accordingly,
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Defendants’ motion for reconsideration is
DENIED. (Doc. No. 215.)
