IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF NEBRASKA PAULA GARCIA, Plaintiff, 4:15CV3100 vs. CASEY'S RETAIL COMPANY, MEMORANDUM AND ORDER Defendant. Plaintiff has moved to compel Defendant to respond to Plaintiff’s Interrogatories No. 26, 27, and 28. Plaintiff’s motion concedes her discovery exceeds the permissible number of interrogatories under Fed.R.Civ.P. 33(a), and “Defendant is not bound to answer them.” (Filing No. 24). Plaintiff appears to be requesting leave to serve, and an order requiring defendant to answer, more than 25 interrogatories. The court cannot address this argument without reviewing Plaintiff’s interrogatories and deciding whether, based on the allegations in the pleadings and the information requested, exceeding the numerical limit imposed by the federal discovery rules1 is warranted. Plaintiff has not filed a copy of the interrogatories served and those which remain unanswered. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that Plaintiff’s motion to compel, (Filing No. 24), is denied. January 25, 2016. BY THE COURT: s/ Cheryl R. Zwart United States Magistrate Judge 1 The parties’ briefs discuss both the federal and state discovery rules governing limits on interrogatories. The federal discovery rules govern the parties’ discovery and the issues raised by Plaintiff’s motion to compel.
