No. 4:16CV1654 RLW

MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
This matter is before the Court on Defendant Central Credit Services, LLC's Motion to
Compel Plaintiffs Responses to Written Discovery Including Medical Records Authorization
(ECF No. 43). Also pending are prose Plaintiffs Motion for Sanctions of Ogletree Deakins &
Sessions Fishman Nathan & Israel for Infringement of Rights and Discovery Abuses (ECF No.
49) and Plaintiffs Amended Motion for Sanctions of Ogletree Deakins & Sessions Fishman
Nathan & Israel for Infringement of Rights and Discovery Abuses (ECF No. 54).
The Court held a hearing on Defendant's Motion to Compel on September 11, 2017,
during which time Plaintiff agreed on the record to sign a medical records authorization form for
counseling services received from North Dakota State University ("NDSU") in response to
Defendant's Request for Production # 13. Plaintiff also advised the Court that he has provided all
other social media information requested by Defendant. As such, Defendant's motion to compel
is now moot. Likewise, Plaintiffs motions for sanctions pertain to medical records sought from
non-parties. In light of Plaintiffs cortsent to authorize the discovery of medical records from
NDSU, the court finds these motions are also moot.
Accordingly,

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Defendant Central Credit Services, LLC's Motion to
Compel Plaintiffs Responses to Written Discovery Including Medical Records Authorization
(ECF No. 43) is DENIED as MOOT.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Plaintiffs Motion for Sanctions of Ogletree Deakins
& Sessions Fishman Nathan & Israel for Infringement of Rights and Discovery Abuses (ECF

No. 49) and Plaintiffs Amended Motion for Sanctions of Ogletree Deakins & Sessions Fishman
Nathan & Israel for Infringement of Rights and Discovery Abuses (ECF No. 54) are DENIED as

MOOT.
Dated this 12th day of September, 2017.
