13

This matter comes before the Court on Defendant Ward’s Motion to Compel (#38), filed on

Defendant’s Reply to Plaintiff’s Response in Opposition to Defendant’s Motion to Compel (#43),

filed on January 30, 2012. The Court conducted a hearing on this matter on February 9, 2012.

Defendant Ward requests the Court order Plaintiff to produce his entire case file pertaining

19

to its investigation of him and CIS Commodities LLC. Plaintiff, in its Response (#41) and in its

20

representations to the Court, state that it has already produced its entire case file to the Defendant.

21

The Court will not compel Plaintiff to produce documents it has already produced. The Court

22
