Case No. 2:16-cv-01563-JAD-NJK
ORDER
(Docket No. 62)

15
16

Pending before the Court is Third-Party Plaintiff’s (“Aon”) motion to compel discovery

17

responses from Third-Party Defendant Insurance Partners, Inc. (“IPI”). Docket No. 62. IPI filed a

18

response. Docket No. 66. IPI also filed a supplement to its response with the Court’s permission.

19

Docket Nos. 68, 69. Aon filed a reply. Docket No. 70. The Court finds this motion properly

20

resolved without oral argument. See Local Rule 78-1.

21

Aon filed its motion to compel while IPI’s motion to dismiss its third-party complaint was

22

pending. See Docket Nos. 49 (motion to dismiss), 62 (motion to compel). In the motion, Aon

23

submits that IPI’s objections to providing the discovery at issue rest primarily on the pendency of

24

its motion to dismiss. See Docket No. 62 at 6-12. After IPI filed its response, however, United

25

States District Judge Jennifer A. Dorsey granted IPI’s motion to dismiss and therefore dismissed

26

Aon’s third-party complaint with leave to amend. Docket No. 67. IPI submits in the supplement

27

to its response that Judge Dorsey’s decision moots Aon’s motion to compel. Docket No. 68 at 3.

28

In reply, Aon submits that Judge Dorsey’s resolution of IPI’s motion to dismiss does not moot the

1
2
3

motion to compel. Docket No. 70 at 6-7.
The Court agrees with IPI. Accordingly, the Court DENIES as moot Aon’s motion to
compel. Docket No. 62.

4

IT IS SO ORDERED.
