GABRIEL W. GORENSTEIN, United States Magistrate Judge
On May 3, 2024, plaintiff filed a letter requesting that the Court order defendants to
produce all documents responsive to plaintiff’s first set of document requests. See Letter, filed
May 3, 2024 (Docket # 30), at 4. Under paragraph 2.A of this Court’s Individual Practices, a
party is required to respond to an opposing party’s request for relief within two business days.
Because plaintiff’s request was filed on May 3, 2024, defendants were required to file a
response by May 7, 2024. Defendants failed to file a response by the deadline and thus, the
Court considers plaintiff’s request to be unopposed. Additionally, the plaintiff’s letter reflects
that defendants’ counsel refused to set a time to meet and confer within one business day as
required by paragraph 2.A of the Court’s Individual Practices.
Accordingly, it is hereby ORDERED that on or before May 15, 2024, defendants shall
produce all documents responsive to plaintiff’s first set of document requests and shall use the
plaintiff’s proposed search terms, date range and discovery protocol. Any objections except as to
privilege are overruled Any failure to comply with this Order may result in sanctions as
permitted by Fed. R. Civ. P. 37(b)(2)(A), including but not limited to entry of a default judgment
and/or a finding of contempt. .
SO ORDERED.
