Case No. 2:10-cv-01617-RCJ-GWF
ORDER
Motion to Compel Post-Judgment
Discovery and for Sanctions (#220)

20
21

This matter comes before the Court on Plaintiff’s Motion to Compel and for Sanctions

22

(#220), filed on February 28, 2013. Defendant William Barkett (“Barkett”) filed an Opposition

23

(#226) on March 15, 2013. Plaintiff filed a Reply (#230) on March 20, 2013. The Court conducted

24

a hearing on the Motion (#220) on April 2, 2013.

25

The District Judge entered a judgment against Barkett on July 9, 2012. See Order, Doc.

26

#194. Plaintiff propounded a Request for Production of Documents on December 12, 2012 to

27

discover assets available to satisfy the judgment, which Barkett did not answer. For the reasons

28

stated on the record at the April 2, 2013 hearing, the Court will compel Barkett to respond to the

1

Request for Production. The Court further finds that Barkett’s failure to respond to the Request was

2

not justified. The Court will therefore award Plaintiff its reasonable expenses incurred in bringing

3

the instant Motion (#220). Accordingly,

amount of costs incurred in bringing the Motion (#220). Counsel’s affidavit shall

13

authenticate the information contained in the memorandum, provide a statement that

14

the bill has been reviewed and edited, and a statement that the costs charged are

15

reasonable.

16

(b)

Defendant Barkett shall have 10 days from service of the memorandum of costs in

17

which to file a responsive memorandum addressing the reasonableness of the costs

18

sought, and any equitable consideration appropriate for the Court to consider in
