Case No. 4:12CV00848 AGF

MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
This matter is before the Court on the motion to compel filed by Defendants
RehabCare Group, Inc., and RehabCare Group East, Inc., on January 3, 2013. The
moving Defendants seek an order compelling the Government to answer Interrogatory
Nos. 13 and 14 of their first set of interrogatories. The moving Defendants also seek an
order deeming the Government’s privilege objections to discovery requests waived or, in
the alternative, ordering the Government to produce a privilege log.
By Memorandum and Order dated March 4, 2013 (Doc. No. 198), the Court granted
the motion to compel filed by the two other Defendants in this case, addressing
interrogatories virtually identical to the ones involved in the present motion. For the
reasons set forth in that Memorandum and Order, the Court will also grant the present
motion to compel with respect to Interrogatory Requests 13 and 14.

Based on the Government’s representation in its response to the motion to compel
that it produced a privilege log on January 14, 2013, that part of the motion to compel will
be denied as moot.
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the motion (Doc. No. 177) filed by Defendants
RehabCare Group, Inc., and RehabCare Group East, Inc., to compel full responses to
Interrogatory Requests 13 and 14 is GRANTED. The Government shall fully respond to
these Interrogatories within ten days of the date of this Memorandum and Order.

Dated this 13th day of March, 2013.
