Defendant.

)

This matter is before the Court on defendant's "motion regarding sufficiency of
plaintiffs answers and objections" [DE 65] and defendant's motion for discovery sanctions [DE
71]. In each instance plaintiff provided lengthy opposition memoranda which clearly
demonstrate the frivolity and misleading nature of defendant's motions. Defendant did not
respond to either memorandum by filing a reply memorandum, leaving plaintiffs statements
unchallenged.
Plaintiff has demonstrated that it properly responded to defendant's requests for
admissions. Accordingly defendant's first motion [DE 65] is DENIED.
Plaintiff has demonstrated that there is no merit in defendant's motion for discovery
sanctions. Indeed, it is clear that defendant has attempted to mislead the court in his supporting
memorandum to the motion. As there is no merit to the motion, it is DENIED.
SO ORDERED.
This the

-/,2-

day of March 2014.
