Defendants.
The plaintiff, proceeding pro se, has not served mandatory disclosures, nor responded to

Admissions served on June 1, 2015. By letters sent on July 21, 2015 and July 30, 2015, the
defendants reminded Plaintiff of his discovery obligations. Plaintiff failed to respond to the
letters. Defendants filed a motion to compel and a motion to deem admitted those facts set forth
in Defendants’ requests for admissions. Plaintiff failed to respond to the motions.
By order entered on September 21, 2015, Plaintiff was given until October 5, 2015, to
serve on the defendants his mandatory disclosures and his full and complete responses to
Defendants’ Interrogatories and Requests for Production. The court’s order further required
Plaintiff to file a certificate of service on the court’s record stating he has timely served his
discovery responses. The order advised Plaintiff that “[f]ailure to timely comply with . . . this
order may result in dismissal of this case as a discovery sanction or for want of prosecution.”
